The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up - March 16, 2023
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
As we march toward spring each year, it is always exciting to bask in the longer days and warmer temperatures. In our schools, we look forward to our students' new beginnings and future journeys each spring. We are currently enrolling incoming Young 5s and kindergarten students for the 2023-2024 school year. Register your child today.
Our high school seniors are counting down the days until they graduate and move on to the next phase of their journey. These next few months will be busy with celebrations and recognition of accomplishments for all our students. Spring is a great time to be a part of our school community. Please subscribe to our district and school calendars and join us at a sporting event, concert, play or family night so you can see why #GreatFuturesStartRightHere.
Sincerely,
John Dignan, Ed.D.
Superintendent
