We are excited to offer our students learning opportunities outside of the classroom. This past week groups of our 7th and 8th grade students took a Junior Achievement field trip where they participated in hands-on learning and programming on financial literacy and entrepreneurship.

Another group of our students took a field trip to the Siemens Lift Center where they learned from industry experts about STEM careers in engineering, computer science and trade professions. Our next group of students will attend the Junior Achievement field trip on March 21st.

Welcome back staff and students. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm during the ice storm that left many without power and down trees. Here is a link to warming centers if you or someone you know remains without power. We plan to reschedule our school dance that was canceled due to inclement weather. This week we have a home wrestling meet Tuesday 2/28 and a home girl's basketball game on Wednesday 3/1. As a reminder students must be accompanied by an adult to attend the home games.

The second semester has started. We have several exciting things taking place this week. The high school counselors will visit our 8th grade classes to discuss scheduling. This week families will also have the opportunity to attend JGHS and WMHS to learn about scheduling, athletics, career tech, extracurricular activities and more.

The second semester has started. This past week, staff and students reviewed the school wide expectations in their classrooms. At the end of the week, students participated in a Kahoot quiz as a review. We are excited that our student broadcast announcements have started. Classes will listen to daily announcements hosted by the WFMS broadcasting students. In an effort to continue to promote a positive climate and culture we will continue with our monthly incentives. This is one way to highlight students that are meeting expectations and doing the right thing. Our PBIS committees are meeting this week and they will announce the January and February incentives with an emphasis on attendance. We have seen an increase in student tardies between classes. It is important that students are present in school but also present in class on time. Failure to meet attendance expectations may result in administrative intervention resulting in a parent meeting to discuss concerns. The girls basketball season and wrestling has started. Please visit our school website to see the game times and dates on our school calendar.

Dear Wayne-Westland Students, Staff and Families,

November has been a very exciting month for many of our students. Our Wayne Memorial High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team is in the National Preseason Top 40 for the first time. We are proud of all the hard work and energy put into the program. 

Students from our elementary and middle schools had the opportunity to visit Michigan State University, where they toured the campus and got to watch a women's basketball game. Another group of middle school students visited Lawrence Technological University and participated in STEM day. HYPE Athletics made a $10,000 donation to our PBIS program, which provides students with positive behavior with a one-day pass to the facility. We continue to work with our community partners to offer our students the most hands-on and comprehensive opportunities.
