These responsibilities may be reassigned to non-curricular duties at the discretion of the Head of School.

Coaches are to adhere to the expectations as set forth by the Athletic Director and Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Innovation.

Mentoring: Faculty are assigned a small group of students to provide them with academic and social-emotional support in addition to fostering home to school connections. Mentors are expected to monitor grades, course enrollments, and other benchmarks of academic advancement and achievement for their mentees. They are to provide counsel and guidance as necessary and appropriate to support their mentees’ social and emotional wellbeing. Mentors also serve as a primary connection between Wayland Academy and the mentees’ family via regular communication about the student’s academic, extracurricular, and social emotional progress and wellbeing. Mentors adhere to the expectations as set forth by the Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Innovation and Dean of Students.

Dorm Supervisor: Faculty supervise residential dorms one night a week and one weekend a month during the academic year. While supervising, the faculty will follow the policies and procedures set forth by the Dean of Students, the employee handbook, and the student handbook.
