Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope your summer has been restful and filled with memorable moments. As we gear up for a new academic year, I am honored to continue serving as the principal of Wallace Middle School, where every student matters and everyday counts.

At Wallace, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and challenging learning environment that nurtures the whole child. This year, we are excited to build on our successes and launch new initiatives that will empower our students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our focus will continue to be on high-quality instruction, building strong relationships, and closing achievement gaps through collaboration and intentional support.

We are especially excited to roll out several programs this year, including:

• Strengthening our instructional framework to ensure consistency and excellence in every classroom.

• Implementing strategies to support student independence and critical thinking through metacognitive practices.

• Continuing to build a positive school culture rooted in shared values, student voice, and mutual respect.

I encourage families to stay connected and involved throughout the year. Whether it’s attending school events, volunteering, or simply checking in with your child about their school day, your partnership makes a tremendous difference.

Please be sure to follow our website and Facebook page for updates, announcements, and celebrations throughout the year.

Let’s work together to make 2025–2026 a year of learning, growth, and joy for all our students. Thank you for your continued support and trust in Wallace Middle School.

Warm regards,
Joanne Carlisle
Principal, Wallace Middle School
