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. 

Upcoming Dates: 

Wayland's Youth & Family Services is sharing an upcoming community offering beginning February 10 (and every 2nd Tues. Of each month). They will be offering a Parent Without Partners Support Group for single parents in Wayland and surrounding communities. The group will meet monthly at the COA Community Center and is designed to provide a warm, supportive space for parents who are parenting on their own.

When: 7:00–8:30 pm on February 10, March 10, April 14, and May 12, 2026

Where: First Parish, 225 Boston Post Road, Wayland (in person only)

Who: Parents and other adults who live, work, worship, or send children to school in Wayland—whether you speak up often, tend to hold back, or fall somewhere in between

Facilitator: jamele adams

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

This four-session workshop focuses on building practical skills for real-life and online conversations—especially when perspectives differ or conversations feel uncomfortable. Participants will practice empathetic listening, curiosity, and self-awareness while learning from one another in a supportive setting. Together, the group will select the discussion topics for each session.

By the end of the series, participants will leave with concrete tools to engage across differences without losing connection, helping to strengthen relationships and our broader Wayland community.

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

The Happy Hollow office is working very hard to keep your children safe and happy in our building. To this end, we are following a protocol created by the Wayland Police that has been implemented in all of the schools. We are responsible for vetting each person before they enter our building. Every visitor must buzz in individually. They will be asked to identify themselves, their student and their business in the building. Anyone with whom we are not familiar or who does not have a job or student in the building will be personally met at the door and escorted. Anyone, regardless of their connection with the school, who does not have a Wayland Public Schools-specific CORI on file is not allowed past the front office without an escort. While this feels counter to the friendly environment we strive for here, it is necessary to keeping your children safe and allows us the personal contact to make sure that you do have a friendly welcome. We will do it with a smile!
