Super Wednesdays Extended Care Option K-5

Based on feedback from families requesting extended care on early release days, we are introducing an optional extended care program for elementary students on Super Wednesdays.

Wayland Public Schools has identified four Super Wednesdays (October 8, December 10, February 25, and April 29), when elementary schools will dismiss at 11:30 AM to support professional development for classroom staff. BASE will offer an extended care option to accommodate families who need additional coverage.

BASE Program Schedule & Extended Care Fee:

Super Wednesday only applies to students enrolled on Wednesdays. Our dismissal will be at 2:00 PM, or 4:30 PM, and is available for an additional fee of $35 per day. Registration for Super Wednesday Extended Care will occur when you register for BASE for the next school year.

Photo/Image Opt-Out Form/Parent Handbook

As part of the BASE registration process, parents/guardians acknowledge the need to complete an "Opt-Out" form if they do not give BASE permission to use photos/images of their child(ren). The form is below and must be completed and returned to BASE only if BASE does not have permission to photograph the child.
