Cafe Marquette Soft Opening Days

I want to assure all of you that, despite what is happening in Lansing and Washington, D.C., regarding both budgets. As you likely know, the state Legislature passed a Continuation Budget that will keep the state government open through October 8, 2025. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., lawmakers failed to reach a budget deal, and a federal shutdown is now in effect. While this means our funding remains in question, the Board of Education and district leaders thoughtfully allocated resources so there would be no disruption for our students.

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

What a great start to the school year! I have enjoyed visiting our schools and seeing our students engaged, motivated, and learning every day. It’s inspiring to see the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication demonstrated by our students and staff. Great things are happening across our district.

The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up - September 26, 2025

The safety of our students and school communities is always our top priority. One important way to help keep children and teens safe is by practicing safe firearm storage. To help protect Michigan families-especially children-from firearm-related tragedies, a state law requiring secure storage of firearms went into effect on February 13, 2024.

Wayne-Westland Community Schools is hosting its 2nd Annual Trunk or Treat event on Wednesday, October 15, in the parking lot behind our Administration office. 

EVENT DETAILS:
Time: 5:00 - 6:30 pm
Location: Board of Education Courtyard
Address: 36745 Marquette, Westland

Attached is an important letter from Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy reminding families that any student who makes a threat of violence toward their school or district - whether intended as a prank or not - may face serious legal consequences. Under Michigan law, it is a crime to make a threat against a school or district, even if the person had no intent or capability to carry it out. 

Wayne-Westland Community Schools takes all threats seriously and will work closely with law enforcement to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

We encourage you to talk with your children about their online presence, digital responsibility, and the seriousness of making any threat.
