Welcome ToHicks Elementary

Are you a new family considering Wayne-Westland Community Schools and looking for information about the programs offered in the District?  Want to know a little bit more about each of the schools in the District? The WWCS Tour Book will give you an overview of the District and each of the schools.

There is also information on

how to enroll a new student,

free sports programs for elementary, middle and high school students,

Talented and Gifted programs,

our Wayne-Westland Online school.

Early learning is a key component to the success of every child. Wayne-Westland Community Schools is surveying to offer a new Young Fives option to families whose students are eligible for kindergarten this fall. In Michigan, children who will be five years old by December 1, 2021, can enroll in Young5s. The program is designed for students eligible for kindergarten, but requires more time to develop their emotional, social, physical, and/or cognitive skills further. If you are interested in enrolling your child in the Wayne-Westland Community Schools potential Young 5s program for the 2021-2022 school year, please complete the interest form linked below. 

Wayne-Westland Schools announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program for children.

As we wrap up this school year and look forward to the summer break, the District is already making plans for the 2021-22 school year. The first day of school for the 2021-22 school year will be

• Monday, August 30, 2021.  
  • K-5 grade students will have a half-day of school in the morning only. 
  • 6-12 grade students will have a full day of school. 
     

All students will return to school in our traditional model of five days per week. Later this summer, we will send more information with the entire 2021-22 school year calendar. 

Thank you for your support and patience this school year. 

Sincerely, 

John Dignan
Superintendent
