Dear WPS Parents and Caregivers,

Happy summer! As we prepare for the new school year, Wellesley Public Schools must confirm student emergency contact details, directory information, and permissions. We use PowerSchool to maintain these data. The PowerSchool Parent Portal will be open from August 19 through September 9, 2026. Please log in during this window to update your child’s information. Homeroom assignments for Grades K-8 will be available on August 19, 2026; Grade 9-12 schedules will be released on August 26, 2026. Note that class lists are not distributed due to privacy laws (see MGL 603 CMR 23.00). Some teacher names may show as “TBD” while we finalize placements.

We share contact information with district-approved partners (such as PTOs and the Wellesley Education Foundation) to create school directories, a resource many families value. Under our Student Records Policy (JRA, JRA-R) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), you have the right to opt out or customize the information released. You can manage these preferences in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Please note that shared directory information is for school-related use only and cannot be used for commercial, political, or other third-party purposes.

Medical Information Changes

SNAP Health Portal logo
  • If your student’s medical information has changed since last year, it is your responsibility to contact the school nurse with any new diagnoses or allergies.
  • The nursing department’s SNAP Health Portal will be integrated into the PowerSchool portal. You may use the Health Portal to upload immunization and physical exam records, and to communicate with your school nurse about your student.

Please contact nursingportal@wellesleyps.org for help with logging into or using the SNAP Health Portal.
