Trunk or Treat

Please complete this survey as we look to plan a fall trunk or treat event.

8th Grade Washington D.C. Trip

We are excited to announce that we will be taking our 8th grade students to Gettysburg and Washington D.C. with Stevenson and Franklin Middle School.

We have three buses reserved. The trip will be first come, first served. Once we fill one bus, students will be waitlisted to ensure we can fill a second bus. The waitlisted student’s trip will be confirmed once bus two fills. The same process will be in place for bus three. If we can not fill bus two or three, those waitlisted will be refunded. This is why it is very important to reserve your spot as soon as possible. You can do that here.

Please be on the look-out for fundraising information to come home in the next week or so. The more you fundraise, the less you will pay towards the cost of the trip.

#PreventSuicide

Did you know suicide affects all ages? In 2020, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 25-34. This week we wore yellow to raise awareness.

Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

Individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts or other mental health crisis are encouraged to call 988, which is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Crossing Guards Needed

Are you interested in giving back to the community and helping protect our community’s children? The Westland Police Department is looking for candidates to serve as crossing guards. Crossing guards will receive training in topics such as stranger danger, CPR/First Aid, missing persons, and more. In addition, crossing guards will work at various posts in school parking lots and intersections throughout the city. Learn more and apply here.

Household Information Form Contest!

Wayne-Westland Community Schools will be participating in a new option available to schools as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the school year 2022-2023

The GREAT NEWS is that ALL students enrolled at our school are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at NO CHARGE to your household each day of the 2022-2023 school year.

We are asking that you fill out and sign the Application for Household Information Report which is located on the Meal Magic Family Portal.   This form is needed for administrative purposes, not to determine eligibility. This survey allows our school to benefit from various State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, At Risk (31s), Title II A, E -Rate, etc. This survey is critical in determining the amount of money the school receives from a variety of supplemental programs. We are asking that you please complete and submit it as soon as possible. Once filled out, please submit a hard copy to the main office of your school and your child will be entered into our gift card raffle!

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact our Food Services Department at 734-419-2118.
