Weekly Update - Good Evening Edison Families,

I hope you are having a nice weekend and getting ready for the Super Bowl!

We have a full week of school this week but will be closed next week for Mid-Winter Break (February 20-24).

The weather has changed week-to-week this winter, so please make sure your child has appropriate clothes to play outside. While we try to stay out of the mud, it might be a good idea to continue sending boots and some extra clothes in case your child has an eventful recess!

Enjoy the rest of your evening and have a great week,

Bennett Tyler

Good Evening Edison Families,

I hope you are having a nice weekend and getting ready for the week!

It looks like winter finally arrived last week with lots of snow! With colder temperatures coming this week, please make sure your child has a coat, hat, gloves, boots, etc. Students do go outside for recess to get some fresh air, so make sure they are prepared!

If you did not get a robocall for the snow day notification, that means we do not have an updated phone number in our Mistar program. Please make sure to update your contact information so we can call you and you receive important district messages! (see below)

Enjoy the rest of your evening and have a great week,

Bennett Tyler

Dear Wayne-Westland Students, Staff and Families,

November has been a very exciting month for many of our students. Our Wayne Memorial High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team is in the National Preseason Top 40 for the first time. We are proud of all the hard work and energy put into the program. 

Students from our elementary and middle schools had the opportunity to visit Michigan State University, where they toured the campus and got to watch a women's basketball game. Another group of middle school students visited Lawrence Technological University and participated in STEM day. HYPE Athletics made a $10,000 donation to our PBIS program, which provides students with positive behavior with a one-day pass to the facility. We continue to work with our community partners to offer our students the most hands-on and comprehensive opportunities.
