Back to School Events

Open House will be taking place Wednesday, August 30 from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Immunizations & Medications at School

Immunizations – Are your kids ready?

In accordance with MN School Immunization Law 121A.15 and the Wayzata Public Schools Policy #521, the district requires that student immunization records be up-to-date, actively in progress, or a signed legal exemption is provided to the district prior to starting and remaining enrolled in school. Refer to this document as a guide to determine which vaccines are required to enroll a child in early childhood programs and school (online, home school, public or private).

Medications at School

All medications, both prescribed and Over-The-Counter (OTC), administered at school requires a medical order from a person who is a licensed authorized prescribing practitioner (physician, physician’s assistant, dentist, podiatrist, osteopath or psychiatrist). Please contact your school health office if you have questions. For more information, visit our Health Services page.

Application for Educational Benefits

Starting in the 2023-24 school year, one daily school breakfast and one daily school lunch will be fully-funded for all students under the Free School Meals Bill. The district's meal program and style of service will remain very similar to previous offerings. Second meals/entrees, a la carte, and adult breakfast and lunch will be available for purchase. It is important to create and maintain a meal account for your student(s) as they must have money in their accounts to make additional purchases.

Even though one daily lunch and breakfast will be offered free to students through this new funding, completing the Application for Educational Benefits may qualify your family for other discounts such as:

Reduced fees for school photography packages
Reduced district activity fees
Reduced internet fees
Reduced fees to local zoos and museums
Discounted cell phone rates through mobile phone providers

We encourage families to apply for Educational Benefits if they think they might qualify.

Who should complete the Application for Educational Benefits?

Children in households participating in:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP)
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
Foster, homeless, migrant and runaway children can qualify without reporting household income
Households whose income is within the maximum income shown for their household size on the instructions of the application
You do not need to complete an application if you received confirmation that your family qualified through the State of Minnesota's Direct Certification Program (DCRT)
