NEWSLETTER: Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy - September 29, 2025

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, we will host two important events at WWIA:

• Parent-Teacher Conferences: 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

• Mandatory Senior/Parent Meeting: 5:00 p.m. (begins promptly)

During the Senior/Parent Meeting, we will review the graduation timeline and all requirements that must be met for your child's eligibility. Parent-Teacher Conferences will provide important updates on your child's academic progress.

Your attendance is essential, as both events share critical information for your child's success.

I want to assure all of you that, despite what is happening in Lansing and Washington, D.C., regarding both budgets. As you likely know, the state Legislature passed a Continuation Budget that will keep the state government open through October 8, 2025. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., lawmakers failed to reach a budget deal, and a federal shutdown is now in effect. While this means our funding remains in question, the Board of Education and district leaders thoughtfully allocated resources so there would be no disruption for our students.

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

What a great start to the school year! I have enjoyed visiting our schools and seeing our students engaged, motivated, and learning every day. It’s inspiring to see the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication demonstrated by our students and staff. Great things are happening across our district.

The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up - September 26, 2025

Week of September 30, 2025.  Open 11:45 am to 1:00 pm. - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  36455 Marquette, Westland MI 48185. Phone: 734-419-2134

The safety of our students and school communities is always our top priority. One important way to help keep children and teens safe is by practicing safe firearm storage. To help protect Michigan families-especially children-from firearm-related tragedies, a state law requiring secure storage of firearms went into effect on February 13, 2024.
