For the Parents of 6th & 7th Graders
Student Placement Requests
May 19 Deadline
Considerable thought and effort are given to student scheduling here at WMS. It is a highly complex, intricate, and time-consuming process. Parents may make specific placement requests under the following circumstances:
- If you have concerns about a teacher based on an older sibling's experience, you may request a different teacher for your child. You may not, however, request a specific teacher.
- If your child has had difficulty with a specific student which has negatively impacted your child's ability to learn, you may request that the children be placed in separate clusters.
To be considered, all placement requests must be sent to betsy_gavron@wayland.k12.ma.us no later Friday, May 19, and must include your child's first and last name, and grade in September. Although we will work hard to honor your request, we cannot make any guarantees.

Teacher Appreciation Needs Your Help!
The PTO is getting ready for our annual Teacher Appreciation luncheon being held on Wednesday, May 31, from 1:15-2:00. We need parent volunteers to help plan the day, to make sure the event runs smoothly, and to coordinate a GUSH for the teachers (a website helps us collect comments, thanks and praise from families, which we turn into a slideshow to project during the event). Let’s show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them! Please contact Amy Simmons (simmons221@comcast.net) to help out with this event.

Wayland will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary as a METCO town next year. We are creating a 50th Anniversary Planning Committee and are looking for people willing to participate on the Committee.
