Dear Wayne-Westland School Community,
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.
