Welcome to Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy

Here are a few important reminders as we head into Week 7 of the school year:

• Evacuation Drill is scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2025.

Please see the attached communication: Dear Families,

As part of our commitment to school safety and in compliance with state law, all students and staff will participate in regular safety drills throughout the year. These drills help ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

Each school will conduct five fire drills, three safety drills, and two tornado drills annually. We will also practice an evacuation drill in the coming weeks as part of our ALICE safety training. Evacuation procedures may be used in response to severe weather, a building issue, or a security threat.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy will practice our evacuation drill on Thursday, October 9, 2025, in the morning. If it is raining, another day will be planned.

• Students and staff will evacuate to our designated site. This is an important part of keeping everyone safe.

NEWSLETTER: Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy - October 6, 2025

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 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.
