Starting during the 2026-27 school year, Wiseburn Unified School District is beginning a thoughtful transition from traditional letter grading to a Standards-Based Grading system. Join us virtually on September 8 from 5 to 6:30 PM to learn more about the new approach, preview the Achievement Report, and get answers to your questions.

Wiseburn continues to expand our services to deliver an exceptional educational experience for our students. As part of that ongoing effort, we’re thrilled to announce some new faces on the Wiseburn team! Get to know them and learn more about what they’ll be doing in the year ahead.

Looking for ways to get involved this school year? Wiseburn welcomes parents, caretakers, and community members to volunteer at our schools and get involved through the PTA/PTSA and the Wiseburn Education Foundation. Explore the many ways you can connect, contribute, and make a difference in our school community.

Reminder to families: e-scooters are not permitted on WUSD campuses. We know there may be some confusion about whether the District’s recently shared e-bike policy also applies to e-scooters. E-scooters and e-bikes are treated differently under California law and District policy.

While Class I and II e-bikes are permitted after registering with the District, California law regulates e-scooters as motorized scooters rather than electric bicycles. State law requires e-scooter riders to have a valid driver’s license or instruction permit, which puts them out of reach for most of our students. The District’s e-bike policy covers electric bicycles only.

Thank you for your partnership in following state law and keeping everyone safe.

The Wiseburn Education Foundation has released its 2025-26 Impact Report, capping a milestone year as the foundation celebrates 30 years of supporting Wiseburn students. Founded in 1996 by parents and community leaders, WEF raised $398,225 this year to benefit more than 5,000 students across the district's schools, from preschool through the high school academies. Highlights include 27 teacher innovation grants totaling more than $27,000, 475 new instruments and cases for the district's music program, and support for 50 middle school students who designed and built AI applications at a two-day hackathon with Da Vinci Schools.

During the July 16 Wiseburn USD school board meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted a new board policy and administrative regulation on student personal electronic devices, establishing that cell phones and similar devices may not be used during the school day — including instructional time, recess, lunch, passing periods, and assemblies — unless specifically authorized. Phone-free school days are linked to improved focus, stronger academic engagement, and better student mental health, and they encourage more face-to-face connection during recess and lunch. The policy includes exceptions for medical needs and other circumstances authorized by the principal or designee.

The Wiseburn USD Board of Trustees has adopted a new e-bike policy aimed at keeping student riders safe on their way to and from school. The policy permits Class 1 e-bikes (pedal-assist only, with motors that stop assisting at 20 mph) and Class 2 e-bikes (throttle-assisted, also capped at 20 mph), while prohibiting Class 3 e-bikes, which can reach 28 mph and are restricted under California law to riders 16 and older. To help ensure every rider is prepared, students with e-bikes will complete a safety training course, register their bikes with the district, and display a district decal. These requirements will be included in registration packets going home in August.

Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, Wiseburn Unified School District will begin a phased transition to Standards-Based Grading, a more learner-centered approach designed to provide clearer feedback on student progress, growth, and grade-level proficiency.
