The District received some exciting news earlier this week. John Glenn High School was awarded a grant for a School-Based Health Clinic (SBHC). The Beaumont School Based Health Clinic will open in the spring of 2023 and serve Wayne-Westland Community Schools students and their siblings. The health clinic will provide medical and mental health services for students. Beaumont Hospital is committed to providing quality health care for the under-insured and the uninsured. By providing access to high-quality healthcare, education and training, we will ensure a continuum of care exists that will improve the health status of the children and families in Wayne-Westland Community Schools.

This is also an exciting time of the school year. There are a lot of celebrations, activities and events scheduled for these last four weeks of the school year. Please check the District calendar and your child's school calendar to stay updated.
