Dear WMS Families,

In the upcoming weeks, we will be focusing especially on the “T” of BERT; trust means that students do the right thing even when no one is watching.  The next five weeks will be filled with classroom based learning and activities that are both educational and celebratory in nature.  We count on our students to do their part by following schoolwide expectations, listening to their teachers and being kind to their classmates, across all of these opportunities.  We thank you, in advance, for reinforcing this important message at home with your students. 

We are grateful to WMS’ House Leaders who have collaboratively created educational and celebratory end-of-year activities for our students.  We thank Ms. Hagan, Ms. Prasad, Ms. Chisholm, Mr. Merry, Mr. Reddington, Mr. Farley, Ms. Posner, Mr. Kotin, and Ms. Peirce for their leadership, creativity, and organization in making these opportunities available to our students.  

We also thank Ms. Poulo, Mr. Farley, Mr. Kotin, Ms. Brewington, Mr. Lehr, Ms. Drahusz, Mr. Gorsky, Ms. Hagan, and Mr. Murphy and all staff members who have supported our students’ development as mathematicians.  When tackling the mathematics MCAS last week, our students showcased a deep command of content as they navigated everything from ratios and proportions to geometry and statistical data analysis.  During the two days of testing, our students epitomized the first standard of mathematical practice “making sense of problems and persevering in solving them”.  

As always, our doors are open.  Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to share in the excitement of the school year, we encourage you to reach out.

WYFS  is excited to bring our community together through a seasonal clothing swap initiative. We are currently accepting gently used clothing for all ages and sizes. Our goal is to hold two seasonal swaps, Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer, to help ensure access to essential, weather-appropriate attire for everyone. Starting the week of May 18th, a donation bin will be available at Wayland Middle School. Thank you for helping us make this effort a success!

Together, we can support one another—one outfit at a time!

Please find below the upcoming schedule for the MCAS testing in May for WMS students.

Get excited for the 8th grade dance as it is only one month away! 

Please use the attached link to RSVP for your student as this will help the PTO to determine food/drink quantities needed. Also, we need volunteers to assist with the set up/break down of the dance. Parents do not stay for the dance as it is chaperoned by staff. Thank you! 

Join our amazing group of volunteers! We have several board and committee positions available that fit many different schedules. Please fill out our short survey if you would like to volunteer. You can view the various roles and descriptions within the document. 

Stay up to date on school news, events and helpful reminders. 

Look for “Wayland MS PTO” and request to join.
