Student Council will host an ALL SCHOOL Spirit Day on Friday, December 6th called Claypit Color Connections Day!
Please join us by proudly wearing the color chosen for your grade! We hope the students connect within the same grade by wearing the same color. Each grade and the color they wear connects with the whole school to make an All School Rainbow!
Specialists and those who teach multiple grades may choose to dress in Claypit Hill gear or Wayland colors (black and orange)!
K - wears something purple
1st - wears something yellow
2nd - wears something orange
3rd - wears something green
4th - wears something red
5th - wears something blue
The Wayland Police Department is requesting that parents dropping students off in the morning NOT turn left onto Adams Lane. The cars who are waiting to turn left are causing a back up that prohibits our buses from passing and proceeding to Plain Road. We recognize that this presents an inconvenience for our residents who live in parts of North Wayland. A sign prohibiting left turns will be posted soon. We appreciate the efforts you will make, even in advance of the posted sign, to ensure a smooth arrival and departure.
Share a special THANK YOU with a teacher or staff member in appreciation of a great start to an amazing school year!
Winter Campaign runs 11/26-12/12
The Wayland Public Schools Foundation HATS OFF! fundraiser is a perfect way to share your gratitude with our wonderful teachers and staff for all they do for our students and the Wayland schools.

METCO Director, La Toya Rivers invites you to attend the annual Wayland METCO Luncheon. The luncheon is held in Boston. Last year, many Claypit Hill community members were in attendance. It is a spectacular afternoon of celebration and community building. Everyone member of our Claypit Hill Community is welcome! Please consider attending.
Claypit Hill’s PTO will once again coordinate a holiday gift drive for foster children, partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families’ (DCF) Framingham office. This is a wonderful opportunity to share the gift of giving with your own children while bringing joy to a child in need.
How can you and your family participate? See the children's wish list and add your family name and email to the first two columns to sponsor a child. Families are welcome to team up and participate together! Once you have signed up, you can refer back to your row at any time on the 2nd tab labeled Fulfilled. The spreadsheet also includes opportunities to provide Visa gift cards ($25 denominations appreciated) to help us fill any gaps in wish lists, and you can also contribute gift wrapping supplies from the store or our Amazon Wish List. Unwrapped and labeled gifts must be dropped off between Dec 1st-8th - watch for more details if you sign-up.
Involve your children! Shop in person or online to fulfill the wish of the child(ren) you signed up to sponsor. This year we are encouraging families to add a hand drawn picture or two to your gift bundle bringing - include a generic holiday or winter-season message and if you choose to sign your name, please include first names only.
