Wayland All Schools News
September 25, 2024
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Beginning the week of October 1, the All Schools News will appear as a link at the top of your child's school newsletter. Information included in the ASN will be updated every 2 weeks. This change is being made in an effort to reduce the number of emails filling your inbox.
This E-Blast is full of school news and school-related community announcements that are not building specific. All announcements that interest families of multiple schools are published here, allowing each individual school to focus their e-blasts on announcements that are specific to their families only.
Please email any submissions to All_SchoolsNews@WaylandPS.Org no later than end of day on Friday for distribution on the following Wednesday. All Schools News is published every other week during the summer.
