Here are a few important reminders as we head into Week 7 of the school year:

• Evacuation Drill is scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2025.

Please see the attached communication: Dear Families,

As part of our commitment to school safety and in compliance with state law, all students and staff will participate in regular safety drills throughout the year. These drills help ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

Each school will conduct five fire drills, three safety drills, and two tornado drills annually. We will also practice an evacuation drill in the coming weeks as part of our ALICE safety training. Evacuation procedures may be used in response to severe weather, a building issue, or a security threat.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy will practice our evacuation drill on Thursday, October 9, 2025, in the morning. If it is raining, another day will be planned.

• Students and staff will evacuate to our designated site. This is an important part of keeping everyone safe.
