In this installment of 60 Seconds in Wayne-Westland, Daryl Beebe discusses March Reading Month, our Celebrity Readers program and our Wayne-Westland Compact.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
As we enter March and the arrival of spring, Wayne-Westland Community Schools is bursting with activities. We invite you to participate in a virtual community forum on March 13 to discuss the district’s student threat assessment process and internet safety.
Dear Families,
All students and members of our school communities deserve to feel safe, welcomed, and included. It is on all of us to work together to prevent firearm violence and to avoid the harm and tragedy that shootings of any kind can cause in the spaces in which we live, learn, work, and play.
Effective communication is essential for success. We are committed to enhancing how our district and schools engage with students, families, and the community. Research shows that student achievement thrives when parents and families are actively involved in their child’s education. We value your partnership as one of the most significant influences on your child's educational journey.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
It is hard to believe that we are now more than halfway through the 2023-24 school year. Among other accomplishments, this school year, we had the grand opening of a new STEM Center and the expansion of additional high school programming at the William D. Ford Career Tech Center. We have new resources focused on student wellness, including a new school-based health center at John Glenn High School. We now have two health centers in the district that are available for our students.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
With the rapid growth of technology and the pervasive nature of social media in children's lives, parenting has become increasingly demanding. Recognizing this, Safer Schools Together has taken the initiative to address these challenges by creating Raising Digitally Responsible Youth – A Parent's Guide.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
January is a special time in a school district as it marks the halfway point in the school year. This week, our middle and high school students are wrapping up their final exams, marking the culmination of the first semester. Report cards will be available through the StudentConnect and ParentConnect portals beginning Monday, January 22, 2024. To access your student's report card, use your credentials to log in to the ParentConnect portal.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
The holiday season is a wonderful time to reflect on the past year's accomplishments and look forward to the possibilities in the new year. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another meaningful tradition, may this season bring you warmth, joy, and moments of connection with loved ones.
As the district looks to the future, this is the first of several videos helping to explain our ongoing work and strategic direction.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
