Welcome To Stevenson Middle School

Welcome to Week 2 of our school year! We are excited to see students settling into routines and continuing to show great behavior in our classrooms and hallways. Great Start Saints!

Here’s your weekend recap:

• Michigan Wolverines opened their season with a 34–17 win over New Mexico.

• Michigan State Spartans also came out strong, defeating Western Michigan 23–6.

• The Detroit Tigers had a solid weekend, highlighted by a 5–0 shutout win over the Royals.

This week at SMS, our focus is on hallway behavior—making sure students are moving with purpose and getting to class on time. In addition, a reminder that our cell phone policy will officially go into effect on Tuesday. This Thursday we will have our first class meeting in the cafeteria. Oh and Friday is Rock your Crocks Day! So get ready to rock you Crocks into the weekend!

Keep it real. Keep it awesome. Keep it real awesome!

Best

-Mr. James

The Board of Education of Wayne-Westland Community Schools is seeking our next superintendent, with assistance from the Michigan Leadership Institute. Engaging members of our school community in this process is a priority for the Board, as your input will play a key role in shaping the selection of our next leader. We are offering two opportunities for you to contribute to this critical process. Your feedback is invaluable in ensuring that we identify a superintendent who will best meet the needs of our students, staff, and community.

Opportunity #1: Complete an Online Survey
Complete an online survey and share your thoughts on the qualities we should be looking for in our next superintendent. The survey will be open until Monday, December 8, at 4:30 p.m. Survey link: Superintendent Search Survey

Opportunity #2: Attend an Interactive Meeting We invite you to join us for an interactive meeting on Tuesday, December 2, where you can:

• Provide input to be used during the search for our next superintendent.
• Learn more about the search process.
• Ask questions and engage in conversation.

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our incredible school community. I’m thankful for our dedicated staff who go above and beyond for students every day, for our families who partner with us to support learning, and for our students who bring energy, curiosity, and joy to our schools.

The Wayne-Westland Transportation Department is hosting its 14th Annual Stuff the Bus event on November 28 & 29 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Walmart on Canton Center & Michigan Avenue.

In partnership with Community Free Will Baptist Church (Cherry Hill & Venoy), we’re collecting new, unwrapped toys to help support families right here in our community.

Our bus will be parked and ready—let’s fill it up and make the holidays brighter for local children!

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

Since I started here in July, I have been so impressed with all the wonderful opportunities Wayne-Westland students have. At times, however, I heard families say, “We never knew.” I can easily see how that can happen (to no one’s fault) as everyone is so busy and pulled in so many directions.
