We are going to try a different approach to the 'Wakefield Weekly' newsletter this year. The goal is to make them slightly less frequent, more compact, and to the point.
So, here is our first swing at the new format, let us know what you think!
The next edition won't come out for two more weeks, so think of it as the 'Wakefield Bi-weekly'.
Thank you for your time, and enjoy your weekend!

Time is running out to secure your beautiful fall mums.
🌼Order Deadline: This Friday, Sept. 11 at 2:00 PM.
Don't miss out! Please place your order today!

What a wonderful Back-to-School BBQ!
Thank you to everyone who came out last night to help us kick off the new school year! It was wonderful to see so many of our students, families, and staff together, enjoying good food, connecting, and getting ready for another great year at Paul School.
A HUGE thank you to the Wakefield Lions Club for volunteering their time to cook and serve the food. We truly appreciate you helping make the evening so special for our families!
Thank you to the Boy Scouts for joining us with a booth and giving our students and families the opportunity to learn more and sign up to become part of Scouts! We appreciate you being part of our Back-to-School BBQ and helping connect our students with opportunities in our community.
Thank you to our amazing Paul School staff who spent the evening helping families at the different tables. From school supplies for home, to backpacks and books, our staff made sure families had the opportunity to get what they needed to start the school year off right.
Thank you to our PTA for organizing the raffles and adding some extra fun to the evening!
And a very special thank you to Danielle Frothingham for donating her time and talent by providing haircuts for our students. Danielle was able to give 15–20 student haircuts during the evening! ✂️❤️ What a wonderful gift to our families.
Most importantly, thank you to our students and families for coming out and being part of the evening. Events like this remind us what a special and supportive community we have.
We are so excited to begin the 2026–2027 school year together!








Our summer updates are not just about the building — we're updating what happens inside our classrooms, too!
📚 New Math Program: Ready Math — Kindergarten through Grade 8
📖 New Language Arts Program: Sadlier — Kindergarten through Grade 8
🔬 New Middle School Science Program: Grades 6–8
We are excited about these new programs and the opportunities they will provide for our students and teachers. Our goal is to make sure that our learning environment, our programs, and our building all continue to move forward together.
We aren't just updating our building — we're investing in teaching and learning! 💜
More updates to come as we get ready for another great school year!




Another update from Paul School!
Mr. Nason is hard at work painting our green middle school lockers black.
We are excited to see these changes come together and give our middle school a refreshed look for the upcoming school year!
He also put a fresh new look to our Wakefield School District logo in our hallway. The blue and black lines added to our district logo in the hallway, giving the space a clean, updated look that reflects our school spirit and school colors.






Creating an engaging learning environment starts with providing students with comfortable, functional, and flexible classroom furniture that supports learning and collaboration. These new desks and chairs will help create classrooms where students can focus, work together, and take pride in their school.
This is just the beginning of our vision for the future of Paul School's middle school. Throughout the summer, we have been making improvements that reflect our commitment to providing a safe, welcoming, and engaging place for every student to learn and grow.
We are grateful to our School Board and the Wakefield community for supporting these investments in our students and our school.
Together, we are creating learning spaces that inspire success.


This summer, we completed a full seal coating and restriping of the parking lot to protect the pavement, improve safety, and create a clean, welcoming entrance for our students, families, staff, and visitors.
The fresh striping provides clearly marked parking spaces, improved traffic flow, and enhanced pedestrian safety, while the seal coating helps extend the life of the pavement and protects this important community investment.
We are truly lucky to have a community that believes in our students.
