A solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, April 8, 2024. Michigan is in the 95% eclipse zone, meaning that certain areas of the state will witness a near-total solar eclipse commencing around 2 p.m., with peak visibility expected after 3 p.m. We want to provide you with some important information about this celestial event and how it will impact our school day.
NOTE: Wayne-Westland Community Schools will have a full school day for all students on Monday, April 8, 2024. We will incorporate educational opportunities related to the solar eclipse into our curriculum to enhance our students' understanding of this phenomenon.

The Engineering Society of Detroit’s Boys in Engineering Academy (BEA) program is a transformative space that empowers primarily boys of color, historically marginalized in STEM fields, to live their best lives. BEA is unique as it focuses on the whole person by integrating STEM learning with a student-centered, hands-on, and project-based approach. BEA scholars are provided access to powerful STEM learning experiences that challenge them to think deeply and critically. As STEM learners, they are empowered to use STEM as a tool for personal and social change.

Greetings Wayne-Westland Families. As we proceed along the path of the school year, students are actively preparing for the upcoming academic year and shaping their futures.
For our high school seniors, this entails making postsecondary plans. Our College and Career Readiness department has a newsletter with valuable information on college scholarships, navigating the FAFSA process, and other resources tailored to support our high school students.
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.
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,
