This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

The Wayland High School planner app has been released to the student body. As of Wednesday, April 12, the newest version has been released and is available on Self Service for downloading onto student computers. Principal Allyson Mizoguchi sent out the email confirming the upload this week.
This app will replace the previous planner created by a former senior. The Honors Applied Computer Science (HACS) class, led by their teacher Michael Hopps, spent the first semester creating the app and then releasing it as a beta version to some students for most of quarter 3. The app contains a calendar, a schedule that syncs with iPass and sections to log down homework and other tasks. A WSPN news feed is also included. According to Hopps and the HACS class, student feedback has generally been positive.
