Happy Friday!
We are headed into our last week of school before Spring Break. That seems so crazy to me! Reading month is coming to an end but that doesn't mean we stop reading. Even reading to your child for 10 minutes per day; a bedtime story for example, can have a huge impact on literacy, confidence and school success. It can also strengthen the bond between a parent and child, help improve listening skills and attention and build empathy in a child. Reading does WONDERS for everyone!

Board of Education Names New Superintendent
Last night marked a meaningful milestone for our district. Following several months of community input, stakeholder engagement, and robust public participation, the Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board of Education conducted final interviews with three outstanding candidates for our next Superintendent.
Following those interviews, the Board voted to appoint Dr. Catherine Cost as the next Superintendent of Wayne-Westland Community Schools, effective July 1, 2026 — pending successful contract negotiations.
The Board is deeply grateful to every community member who completed a survey, attended a forum, or shared feedback that helped define the qualities we sought in our next leader.
We are excited about what lies ahead. Dr. Cost joins a district supported by an engaged community and a dedicated team of educators committed to the success of every child. Together, we have every reason to look forward with confidence and optimism.
Please join the Board of Education in warmly welcoming Dr. Catherine Cost to the Wayne-Westland family. The best is yet to come.
With gratitude,
Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board of Education
