Wayland All Schools News
September 18, 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 biweekly. 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.
