Central Middle School Auditorium

The middle school years are a time of immense change and growth for students. The evening will feature a panel of Wayzata Public Schools specialists speaking on common areas of concern and interest for parents. Representatives from each Wayzata middle school will be available for questions. Designed for parents of current 5th- and 6th-grade students.

Additional Parenting with Vision opportunities are listed on the District website at www.wayzata.k12.mn.us/parentingwithvision.

Partnering with our community is key to the success of Wayzata Public Schools and our students. It's the best way to effectively inspire our students and prepare them to be lifelong learners.

That's why we need you to take our District and School Climate Survey, which is open January 16 - 30.

The survey asks for feedback on student and academic support, safety and behavior, school leadership, family involvement, and more. The results will help us better understand our community and its needs, determine our strengths, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Parents, staff members, and students in grades 9-12 should check their email accounts for an invitation and survey link. Parents can also take the survey at http://tiny.cc/wpsdistrictsurvey, or pick up a paper survey at Wayzata Public School's Education Services Center, located at 12925 16th Ave. N. in Plymouth. All survey responses are strictly confidential.

For more information about the survey, contact Stacey Lackner at Stacey.Lackner@wayzataschools.org.

Wayzata Public Schools has teamed up with the National Football League (NFL), the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee, Verizon and Braemar Field for a community project called Super Kids-Super Sharing to help make a difference in the lives of local children this Super Bowl season.
