Lunar New Year Display Case
Chinese Mandarin class students welcome the year of the Tiger with Chinese calligraphy, Chinese painting, and different arts and crafts projects.
- 6th grade classes wrote Chinese characters in different styles of the 12 zodiac animals and decorated animal bookmarks.
- 7th and 8th grade classes did Chinese paintings of the tiger, and wrote Chinese New Year lucky words.
The display case also showcases Chinese New Year lucky red envelopes, lucky Chinese New Year food, Chinese New Year assorted snack boxes, and firecrackers. Red and gold are lucky colors!
Thank you to the World Language Department and Dr. Chang for the beautiful display that has brightened our lobby for the Chinese New Year!

Sign Up to Receive FREE at home COVID-19 Test Kits
All families and staff are eligible for a rapid antigen test kit including two tests every other week. The state recommends that students who have had COVID-19 within the last 90 days not receive the test until they are past their 90 days, but that is a recommendation, not a requirement. Wayland is committed to providing test kits to any families that request them.
We are asking all families and staff choosing to receive the at-home kits to test on Mondays, preferably before school when possible. Positive results should be communicated to their school nurses as soon as possible; negative results do not need to be communicated.
Pooled PCR testing will continue on Thursdays. Enrollment is open to all except those with COVID-19 infection in the prior 90 days. Contact Parry Graham to enroll.

Arrivals
REMINDER our doors do not open until 8:25 a.m. (with the exception of students who are signed up for AM wellness who go in at 8:00 a.m.). Please do not drop off students earlier.
If your child is running late - school begins at 8:40 a.m. - and you arrive later than 8:45 a.m., please drop off at the front of the building, so we are sure we get accurate attendance.

Early Dismissals
If you must dismiss your child early from school, please follow this protocol:
- Send a note into school with your child that day with the time you will pick them up.
- Your child should bring the note to the Front Office upon arrival and will be given a Dismissal Pass to give to the teacher at the beginning of the class they’ll need to be dismissed from.
- At the indicated time, your child will come to the office to check out and wait for you at the entrance.
- If all steps are followed, there is no need for you to call or get out of your vehicle.
