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.
Transportation Information
To ensure that your child is assigned to the correct bus and stop, your correct address must be on file with the Wayzata Public Schools Welcome Center. If your family has moved over the summer or is new to the district, please contact the Welcome Center at 763-745-5240 or welcome@wayzataschools.org.
Students/families enrolled by August 11th will receive their busing information via email the week of August 21st and no later than August 25th.
If your child is transported to or from a different address for childcare before or after school you must complete a Day Care Transportation form.

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)
How to apply for these educational benefits
- Choose one of the following two options to complete your Application for Educational Benefits:
- Complete the online Application for Educational Benefits, OR
