Wildwood Latest News
Good attendance is a habit that can lead to stronger academic and personal success. Research consistently shows that attendance matters. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to stay on track academically, build strong relationships with teachers and classmates, and develop the habits and skills they need for success in school and beyond.

Regular attendance helps students stay connected to their teachers, classmates, learning and school community. Missing just a few days can add up quickly, so let's work together from the very beginning of the school year to build strong attendance habits.
Together, we can help every student show up, stand out and succeed!
Hi! My name is Mrs. Combs, and I am your Attendance Monitor at Wildwood Elementary! I might look familiar because you may also see me around school as a crossing guard!
When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two boys who keep me busy with their love of hockey and baseball!
I am looking forward to a wonderful school year and getting to know all of you. Let’s make it a great year! Go Wolves!
A friendly reminder to all of our families that there will be no school on Friday, September 4, or Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.
We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and has a safe, relaxing time with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on Tuesday, September 8!
This communication is an effort to inform ALL Wayne-Westland families of our desire to improve district wide student attendance. We know how important every school day is for your child’s success—academically, socially, and emotionally. Regular attendance builds strong learning habits, positive relationships, and a sense of belonging.
However, when a student misses too much school—even for excused reasons—it can have a lasting impact. In education, we use the term chronic absenteeism to describe students who miss 10% or more of the school year (that’s about 18 days in a typical 180-day year).

Please be sure to check Classroom Dojo, Facebook, and Instagram for announcements about our upcoming attendance contest, which begins on April 6th.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on April 6, 2026.
Application window will be open from March 2, 2026 through August 28, 2026.
Grades K-12th
We need to postpone the Valentine's Day concert for our 2nd and 3rd grade students due to a family emergency. We will update you when we have more information! Thank you for your understanding!
We would like to remind everyone, to minimize disruptions during the final instructional period of the day, early pick-ups will not be allowed after 3:00 PM. We kindly ask that you plan any necessary early dismissals accordingly.
Also, if you need to change your child’s means of transportation, please call the office directly so that we can ensure the message gets to the correct staff member and student.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a focused and productive learning environment for all our students.
