The Staff Appreciation Day Committee is working on a plan to celebrate our Civil Service and AP staff members in AY22-23, and we could use your help!
Please complete the Staff Appreciation Day Survey to let us know what kind of celebration YOU prefer for Appreciation Day, and we will use the results to make a plan that works the best for most.

WUIS Building - Restroom Renovation
Say good-bye to the old flooring and toilet stools in the restrooms of the WUIS building! A combination of F&S crews and external contractors are replacing the floors and stool fixtures, as well as patching and painting the walls.
