Wayland residents with children who will be 5 years of age as of August 31, 2026 are eligible to enroll in Wayland Public School Kindergarten for Fall of 2026. 

Pre-registration helps the district plan for staffing, class sizes, school assignments and transportation for our incoming Kindergarten students. It also provides families with an opportunity to share information that may help with their child's transition to Kindergarten.  

The Kindergarten Pre-Registration link will be posted on the Kindergarten Registration website on February 2, 2026. 

The Spanish Immersion Kindergarten program parent/caregiver meeting took place on January 20, 2026. Attendance at this meeting by one parent/caregiver was required for families interested in their child's participation in the Spanish Immersion program. If you were unable to attend this meeting, please email Wayland_Registration@waylandps.org so that a follow up meeting may be scheduled. 

Our district will be holding three sessions as part of our Portrait(s) of a Learner process, which is described in the message below. The sessions will be facilitated by the same highly skilled facilitators from MLP Integrated Design that we used for our facilities planning work and we would love more Happy Hollow caregivers to be included in this work!

Parents and caregivers will share insights about student growth, challenges, and the experiences that matter most across K-12. We’ll explore what skills and mindsets students need today and what supports truly make a difference. This feedback will guide the development of Portrait(s) traits and learner profiles. If you are interested please fill out this Google Form.

Additionally, caregivers have the opportunity to participate in the Big Group Visioning Series (Educational Forum)

The three-part series will bring together educators, parents and community members to co-create Wayland’s Portrait(s) of a Learner. Below is a calendar of the process/meetings.

Identify 4-6 core draft traits based on a series of focus groups with students, recent graduates, and parents/caregivers

Build narrative learner archetypes that reflect the range of Wayland learners

Revise and finalize the Portrait(s) as we prepare to launch.

Participants are required to attend all three sessions as each session builds on the previous one. Please click on the button below to fill out the Google Form here if you are interested in participating.

Facilitator: jamele adams

Registration: Registration is required. Attendance at all four sessions is encouraged but not required.  REGISTER

About: This four-session workshop is all about building skills for real-life and online conversations—especially with people whose life experiences differ from your own. Together, we’ll practice how to show up with curiosity and self-awareness, even when conversations feel uncomfortable or perspectives don’t align.

jamele adams, an educator, facilitator, and community peacemaker, will lead four in-person sessions where participants can practice empathetic listening, learn from one another, and build trust and connection. Together, participants will choose the discussion topic for each session.

By the end, you’ll have concrete tools to engage across differences—face-to-face and online. You’ll leave better equipped to navigate difficult conversations without losing connection. No matter who you are or where you’re coming from, this workshop is a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and grow together—and to help make the Wayland  community stronger.

This program is sponsored by the Wayland Public Schools and the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (HRDEIC). The program is made possible through the generous support of the Lydia Maria Child Fund of First Parish in Wayland.
