Support the PTO Today: Gift Your Child

From school essentials and enrichment to staff appreciation and community building, Wayland PTO delivers value to your child’s education. Every year, Wayland PTO contributes funding to our five schools, along with countless volunteer hours. These funds and time support our students, enable our staff, and build our community.

No matter what grade your child is in or what their interests are, the PTO is here to support them! The Wayland PTO is a non-profit organization, and the generous contributions of our parent community to Gift Your Child directly fund all of our activities.
