Welcome to Wayne Memorial

This is our last full week of school to the Holiday Break. We will be on break from Monday, December 22 - Friday, January 2. We will be back in school full time on Monday, January 5.

Please note - upon our return from the Holiday Break, we have 1 full week of school and then 'Exam Week' and Record Days. If you are where you need to be with your attendance and grades, keep going! If you are not where you need to be, the time to go is now! Let's finish up strong in this last week! You got this. We got you.

NEWSLETTER: WMHS Student Weekly Information - December 15, 2025

As the winter break approaches, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, recharge, and embrace the peace this season can bring.

The holidays are often filled with joy and connection, but they can also bring challenges—whether it’s missing a loved one, juggling holiday preparations, or managing the pressures of the season. While each of us celebrates in our own way, it’s important to acknowledge all feelings that may arise and remember it’s okay to ask for support when needed.

Did You Know is a video series produced by Wayne-Westland Community Schools that follows Interim Superintendent Catherine Cost, Ed.D. as she visits schools, departments and programs across the district. Along the way, we highlight the dedicated staff, departments, and programs that show how, in Wayne-Westland, Great Futures Start Right Here.

The holidays are upon us—a time for joy, connection, and creating meaningful memories with loved ones. It’s also a season that can bring its own pressures, like planning visits, managing gift budgets, and organizing events. With everything on your plate, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
