Be Safe. Be Responsible. Be Respectful.Welcome to Roosevelt-McGrath

We know our new policy is sensitive. This is not intended to be punitive for our families. The intent of the District Attendance Policy is for our schools to build strong positive relationships with families and provide support for students and families. We understand kids will be out sick. We expect families to keep kids home when they are sick. Our intent is to continue to build great relationships with parents and have parents regularly inform us when kids will be out sick and provide us doctor's notes for our records when kids are out sick multiple days. We also know, unfortunately, that some students are refusing to come to school and some parents are not sending their healthy students to school. We are here to help support you.

We know learning occurs and improves when kids come to school. Our District has had a high student absenteeism rate compared to our State absenteeism averages. We are taking steps to improve our attendance one day at a time so kids can continue to grow academically, socially and emotionally. In addition to us building positive relationships with families and offering support when needed and/or when it may be required, we will be building positive incentives at school for kids to be celebrated for good attendance.

Thank you for being a partner with us.

NEWSLETTER: Roadrunner Weekly - September 15, 2023

September 15 to October 15 celebrates National Hispanic American Heritage Month, which honors Hispanic and Latino Americans' unique cultures and contributions.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office is encouraging all parents/guardians to have a conversation with your school-age children regarding an issue that has become all too prevalent, namely threats to commit school violence.

See link below for full letter.

Recognizing when people in our lives are struggling with emotional pain and helping them feel comfortable to talk about it can help prevent mental health crises, including suicide. Learning the warning signs, knowing how to start a conversation, and knowing where to get professional help can make a powerful, life-changing difference.

Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,

Welcome back! As the new school year approaches, I welcome you to the upcoming academic year. Together, we embark on a journey of growth, learning, and inspiration for our students and the entire school community.
