Happy Summer, to all our Eagle parents and students!

School will resume on August 10th, 2021.

As some COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have eased, we wish to maintain an environment of safety and wellbeing for your child while attending Wayman Academy. To this effect, we have developed a plan that provides parents with peace of mind, as well as options, both for “at-home” learning, as well as traditional “brick-and-mortar” learning. It is our intention to operate our buildings and classrooms in the safest way possible. To learn about our continued measures to prevent the spread of illness within the school, please click the link below.
