''Wayside School'' (usually billed as just ''Wayside'') is the AnimatedAdaptation of Creator/LouisSachar's Literature/WaysideSchool, produced by Creator/{{Nelvana}}.

Originally premiering as an hour long PilotMovie episode on Canada's Creator/{{Teletoon}} in 2005, it was later picked up for a full, 26-episode series by {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} in 2006; the show itself premiered the following year. Despite garnering relatively favorable reviews from professional critics, the show was cancelled in 2008 and Nickelodeon eventually pulled reruns after its ending. While reruns of the show still air in Canada, they have moved to Teletoon's now-sister network, Creator/{{YTV}}.
