PRINCIPAL POINTS - Dear Taft Community,
We hope this newsletter finds you well as we enter the month of November. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it's important to take a moment to reflect on all that we have and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
Expressing Gratitude:
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we encourage our students and staff to practice gratitude throughout the month. Here are a couple of ideas to get started:
1. Gratitude Jar: Create a gratitude jar at home and encourage your child to write down something they are thankful for each day. This simple activity helps cultivate a positive mindset and appreciation for the little things in life.
2. Thank You Notes: Take a moment to write a thank you note to someone who has made a positive impact on your life. It could be a teacher, a family member, a friend, or even a community member. Let's spread kindness and gratitude together!

Dear Wayne-Westland School Community:
Over the past ten years, enrollment has changed significantly within Wayne-Westland Community Schools. The budgeting process has shown that steps need to be taken to address our district’s financial challenges and the changing enrollment. I want to update you on our current plan going forward.

Dear Wayne-Westland School Community:
As part of the district’s ongoing commitment to communicate frequently with our community during this time of change, we want to provide a brief update on several important issues related to transportation services.

Care Solace Article: Finals Season
A Message for Students: As we approach winter break, many of you may feel the pressure of finals season. We want to remind you to take care of yourself as you study, finish projects, and prepare for winter break.

Dear Wayne-Westland School Community:
As we continue our journey to provide an outstanding education to the children in our community, our commitment to transparency remains steadfast. I want to update you on the district’s current plan regarding the budget discrepancies.
