FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Waysiders,
Congratulations on another great year in the books!
We’ve had an exceptional year, and I am very encouraged by the tremendous academic and personal growth our scholars achieved. Each presentation, homework assignment and essay puts them one step closer to the ultimate goal: college. None of this would be possible without encouragement and guidance from you. I’d like to thank all of you for your continued support of our scholars.
I’d also like to take a moment to wish our teachers and scholars a wonderful summer break. You’ve all worked incredibly hard this year, and you’ve earned a relaxing, restful time. I look forward to seeing you back at school in July eager and ready to tackle the year ahead!
Together we prepare college ready, community engaged citizens.
Matt Abbott, Superintendent

FACILITIES: Our facilities team provides upgrades to all Wayside Schools campuses over the summer.
ENROLLMENT: Our enrollment team works throughout the summer to meet new families and spread Wayside's message. This summer, they'll be attending several community events and enrolling new families. If you know anyone interested in attending Wayside, there is still space in select grades for 2019-2020. Contact our enrollment team at enroll@waysideschools.org.
