We are excited to start the 2024-2025 school year and look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Please see the 2024 First Day of School Announcement for more important dates.
Following a closed session last evening, the Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board of Education voted to place Superintendent John Dignan on administrative leave pending the outcome of further discussions.
The Board has named Ms. Jennifer Curry, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, as the Acting Superintendent. The District’s leadership team will continue to work with the faculty and staff to ensure the positive completion of the school year for all our students, while remaining focused on the strategic priorities of our school district.
Sincerely,
Bradley Gray
Board President

Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
As we approach Memorial Day weekend, it is important to remember that Memorial Day is not only a time for picnics and gatherings but also a solemn occasion to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. It's a time to reflect on their courage, selflessness, and dedication to preserving the freedoms we hold dear.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt sentiments during Teacher Appreciation Week. Their dedication and hard work often go unnoticed, so it’s heartwarming to know our teachers and staff felt appreciated and loved this week. When parents and students come together to express their gratitude, it creates a nurturing environment that benefits everyone involved. Staff play a crucial role in shaping young minds and fostering a positive learning environment. So, thank you for acknowledging their hard work.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families.
As the end of the school year draws closer, students and staff are gearing us for the last day of school just over one month away. To keep students engaged in learning all summer, he district is planning comprehensive summer learning programs.
I want to provide you with an important update regarding our district's technology resources. As you may know, our schools have been fortunate to receive funding through the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF), a grant that has allowed us to provide iPads with cellular service to elementary students for educational purposes.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
With less than two months left in the school year, our students are still learning, growing, and thriving. As our high school seniors prepare to conclude their K-12 experience with cherished traditions and celebrations, we look forward to welcoming a new group of Young 5s and kindergarten students next fall. Spring marks a significant and memorable time in our school district.
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
As we approach spring , I want to highlight the importance of upcoming assessments for our students across all grade levels.
For our middle and high school students, spring assessments provide valuable insights into their progress and help us tailor our educational approach to meet their needs. I encourage all students to approach these assessments with focus and determination, as they serve as benchmarks for their growth and development.
