• Step 1: 2025-2026 Kindergarten Pre-Registration
  Kindergarten Pre-Registration opens on February 1 of each year for Wayland resident families that intend on enrolling their child(ren) in Wayland Kindergarten the following Fall. Pre-Registration helps the district determine school assignments and class sizes at each school. 
  
  Use this link to Pre-Register your child(ren) for 2025-2026 Kindergarten.
  
  
• Step 2: Kindergarten Registration
  Wayland Public Schools is migrating to a new student enrollment registration system! This Kindergarten class and new WPS families will be the first to use our new PowerSchool Enrollment system, which will collect all necessary student and family information, replacing the need to send out additional paperwork and emails at the start of the school year. As this is a new system, all registering families - regardless of whether you have another child enrolled in Wayland Public Schools - will need to create a new login to register your child. 
  
  Please review this Kindergarten Registration: Checklist for required documents that will need to be uploaded as part of your child's Kindergarten registration.

• Step 3: School Bus Transportation Registration
  Wayland Public Schools has also migrated to a new school bus transportation registration system! At this time, the school bus transportation registration links have been emailed to existing Wayland Public School students only.
  
  Wayland Public Schools is required to provide transportation for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade who live more than two (+2) miles from their assigned school. Students in Kindergarten through 6th grade who live less than two (-2) miles from their assigned school will be eligible for fee based transportation, based upon space availability. School bus transportation registration will remain open through June 20, 2025. 
  
  Additional information, including financial assistance applications, bus fees and online payment may be found on the Wayland Public School's Student Transportation website. Once school bus routes are established in August 2025, they will also be posted on the Student Transportation website. 
  
•  
• Use the link in your child's Kindergarten school assignment email or this School Bus Transportation link.
  
  Transportation fees, financial assistance and school bus routes may be found on the Student Transportation website.  
• 
  We thank you in advance for your patience with these two new registration systems as we introduce them to our WPS community!
