Wayside's 5th Grade Classes went to BizTown in Tulsa this past Thursday. BizTown is a popular learning experience that combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. It allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. BizTown is sponsored by Junior Achievement.

Hello, Wayside Patrons!
Due to construction, and for Safety and Efficiency reasons, Wayside will be adjusting our Drop-Off and Pick-Up Lines for the 23-24 School Year.
Please see the map: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1jimnT1-x5C9Vj7PXAX_cYrFTSXBLaDRg2A3lRdMP5eM/edit?usp=sharing
Wayside will be hosting two Parent Information Meetings about these new procedures. The two meetings will cover the same material. Parents with questions are invited to attend one of the meetings if they need clarification regarding the new Drop-Off and Pick-Up line procedures.
The meetings will take place on Thursday, July 27th at 6:30 PM and then again on Thursday, August 3rd at 6:30 PM. Both meetings will be held in the Wayside Gymnasium. Patrons choosing to attend can enter through the outside gym doors.
Starting August 10th, we are asking patrons NOT to park on either side of Jefferson Street between the school and the new staff parking lot (south of the school) during Drop-Off or Pick-Up times (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM).
We also want to inform everyone in advance that the sidewalk which connects Stonewall Drive to the Wayside campus will NOT be accessible during the 23-24 school year.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Smith or Ms. Birk at 918-333-8000.
