The Wayland Public Schools Foundation (WPSF) is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization that works to enhance and support the educational mission of Wayland Public Schools beyond the means of conventional public funding. Working closely with the Superintendent and district leadership, the Foundation makes grants in support of curriculum, professional development, and innovation.
Mission
Many successful programs initially supported by the Foundation have become integrated into the District’s curriculum. The Foundation is extremely proud of the impact its programs have on our children eract the cadre of teachers that seek to work in our district.
What We Do
WPSF has established a tradition of innovation in our schools by funding grant proposals submitted by Wayland teachers and staff for cutting-edge programs that would otherwise go unfunded.
Often we provide the seed money for new teaching approaches that take root and spread to other classrooms.
This is possible only through generous community support of our Annual Appeal, Gala, the HATS OFF! Teacher Appreciation Program, and the annual Elementary School Spelling Bee.
Since 1983, WPSF has funded over $4 million in staff and teacher grants. With school budgets under continual pressure, WPSF's grants are increasingly important to maintaining the tradition of excellence in Wayland classrooms.
