For current families, please log in to your ParentConnection account to update your child's contact information and reacknowledge important school policies. New students to the district will receive MiStar login information in mid-August. 

Also, please print, complete and sign the Education Benefits Form, which is also located on the Meal Magic Family Portal, and return it to your child's school. This form is used to determine eligibility for state benefits for which your child's school may qualify.   All information on the form submitted is confidential. Without your assistance, the school cannot maximize the utilization of available state and federal funds.

Visit the Our Schools page and click for your child's school to locate the supply list in the resources section on the side menu.

High school students will receive supply lists from their teachers when school starts. Preschool supplies are not required, but donations are accepted.

Visit the Wayne RESA School District & Attendance Locator to view the schools serving your community. 

Families can request a different home school, but the request must be submitted during the In-District School of Choice window (January through March). New and current students residing within the Wayne-Westland Community Schools boundaries wanting to attend a different home school, please complete the In-District Schools of Choice Waitlist. You will be notified via email when an opening becomes available.

Teacher assignments and schedules are located in the MiStar ParentConnection. Information is uploaded the week before the first day of classes.

Please reference the information below for your school's information.

Start and Dismissal Times

Champions offers programming at all of our elementary schools before and after school, during seasonal breaks, and on most non-school days. See our Champions page for more information.

Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic success. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school on time every day and stays throughout the whole day. Consistent attendance throughout the school day allows your child to engage in learning and maximize their educational opportunities fully.

Illness: If your child is not feeling well and cannot attend school, please notify us immediately. Students who are ill should not attend school to prevent the spread of illness to others.

Excused Absences: We understand that there may be instances when your child needs to be absent due to illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or other legitimate reasons. Please notify the school in advance whenever possible to classify the absence as excused.

Unexcused Absences: Unexcused absences negatively impact your child's education. Absences without valid reasons will be considered unexcused, and appropriate actions may be taken per district policy.

Timely reporting of absences helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that your child's absence is properly documented. Absences must be reported within 24 hours. 

There are two convenient methods for reporting your child's absence to facilitate efficient communication and accurate attendance records.

• You can notify your child's school through the dedicated attendance line. Please leave a detailed message stating your child's name, grade, and reason for absence. 

• You can report absences directly through MiStar, our secure online portal for student information. MiStar provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to submit absences.

To maintain our program status, parents and guardians are asked to complete and sign the Education Benefits Form, which is also located on the Meal Magic Family Portal, and return it to your child's school as soon as possible. The information on the form is needed for administrative purposes, not to determine eligibility.

Wayne-Westland Community Schools and the State of Michigan law prohibit school employees from dispensing medication to students without written permission from the student’s physician and parent. If medication must be administered at school, the following are necessary.

1. Written permission from the student’s parent or guardian and their physician must be on file in the school office before any medication can be given. This must include – student’s name, medication, dose, time to be given, and physician’s signature. The Medication Authorization form can be found at the link below, or a copy can be obtained from the school office.

3. Non-prescription medication must be in the original container with the label intact.
