Greetings Wayside Families!    

 

Principal's Message - Week of June 17 

 

Thank you for a wonderful school year!  Congratulations to our 5th graders as they move on to middle school and best wishes to families that will not be returning in the fall!

   

Important for 5th Grade families! 

As you prepare for advancement to middle school, please be mindful of vaccinations required for middle school students.  Please provide your students updated vaccinations, including tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) and meningococcal conjugate (MCV), to the school office.  If you have questions, please call the school's health room. 

   

Lunch Money Rollover 

If your child will attend Hoover MS or another MCPS school next year, please note that any funds in the cafeteria account will roll over to the new school. Accounts at Wayside hold over money until the next year. Please be sure to check your child’s account for negative balances. All overdrawn accounts must be reconciled! 

      

Summer Learning Opportunities 

We’re excited to announce a great resource for reading this summer: Capstone Interactive eBooks! This summer, Capstone is providing free access to thousands of ebooks that can be read from school, home, or on-the-go. These eBooks can be used with a laptop or desktop computer or an iPad. Best of all, Capstone Interactive eBooks provide critical supports like text-highlighting and read-aloud audio, recorded by professional voice-over artists. Plus, the easy navigation makes it inviting for your student to find their Capstone favorites: like the spunky Katie Woo, stunning photography from PebblePlus books, and thrilling reads like Library of Doom from Michael Dahl. And you can feel comfortable knowing your student is exploring an ad-free website bursting with resources to help them read in and out of the classroom.
