Welcome ToElliott Elementary

Happy Spring! I want to thank Mr. Layne for filling in for me during the two weeks I was out! It was great to be back with my Elliott Family this past week. Lots of great things took place during my absence. Our Someone Special Dance was well attended and a huge success. Our Kindergarten Kickstart was also well attended and we look forward to the new Eagles who will be joining Elliott in the fall! March is Reading Month got off to a strong start. Our theme this year is "We are Super Readers!" John Glenn High School Athletes came and read to our classes and answered questions students had for them. We will continue to have "celebrity readers" visit our classrooms this month and in upcoming months. Please see the "We are Super Readers" calendar for more information regarding this month's activities.

This upcoming week is going to be busy and full of learning fun! This week our College and Career Readiness Department will be celebrating March Madness. This week is meant to ignite the conversation around various career pathways and there will be a theme for each day. We will have our Elliott Super Family Game Night this Wednesday evening. (See below.) Friday the Story Ladies will be again reading to every classroom!

Westland, Michigan - The Board of Education of Wayne-Westland Community Schools is proud to announce the successful sale of its 2023 School Building and Site Bonds (the Bonds) in the amount of $36,760,000 as authorized by the voters of the School District in November of 2018. The Bonds represent the third and final series of bonds pursuant to such voter authorization. The Bonds will be used for the purpose of remodeling, equipping, re-equipping, furnishing, re-furnishing school buildings, athletic fields and other facilities; acquiring and installing instructional technology equipment and infrastructure in school buildings and other facilities; construction of additions to existing school buildings and athletic field houses at both high school sites; preparing, developing and improving sites at school buildings, playgrounds, athletic fields and other facilities and the purchase of school buses, and paying the costs of issuing the Bonds.

This week, Wayne-Westland Community Schools staff supported each other and the students as we processed another senseless tragedy on the campus of our educational partner, Michigan State University. We then came together again after experiencing the loss of one of our students in a tragic accident. This loss has raised many emotions, concerns, and questions for our district.
