The 2021 trip to Kalahari was a big hit even with the understandably reduced numbers. 2022 might be our best Yake Family Night at Kalahari yet!

Please see the message below about Woodhaven High School's Theatre Company State Championship!!!

Big Shout Out to Yake father and Watch D.O.G. Mike Clemons (2 time Thespian Teacher of the Year!) who leads our award winning theatre program. Also a big Shout Out! to former Gators Jaime Maczuga, Rian Orcher & Rebekah Colon! We are so proud of you and your company's outstanding accomplishments!

Please join me in congratulating the members of the Woodhaven Theatre Company and the Play Production class on capturing the Division 1 State Championship at the MIFA Theatre Finals this past Saturday.

We hope that you enjoy this wonderful story as much as we do!

In order to implement more stringent health screening protocols (as mandated by the Wayne County Health Department), we are now expecting that a parent completes the health screener, online, for their child(ren), each day that they are to be in attendance. This is the same process that all employees in the WBSD have been completing.

This is an important requirement for the district to continue our face to face instruction. This screener is similar to the one that we have been asking you to do daily since the beginning of the year. This screener is available on an online platform through a google form application.

The screener can be made available by using the QR code below.

Or by clicking this link: https://screener.wbsdweb.com/

Please note that if you answered yes to any of the questions in the screener you will need to keep your child home and follow the guidance provided by the Wayne County Health Department.

Your help in making sure our students and staff are healthy and safe every day is appreciated.

1)Place your order each week by Thursdays at 3pm.

2)Pick up your meal on Mondays at one of many pickup locations.

3)Concentrate on virtual learning without worrying about meals!

Visit Virtual Free Meal Order Page for details!
