Be Safe. Be Responsible. Be Respectful.Welcome to Roosevelt-McGrath

• Open House: Monday, August 24, 2026, 4:30-5:30 pm
• First Day of Classes - August 25, 2026 - Half Day  (K-12 Students)

As we prepare to welcome our students back for the 2026–27 school year, we want to inform families about an important change regarding cell phones and other personal electronic devices.

Michigan law and Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board Policy now require students to keep personal wireless devices put away during instructional time. This change aims to reduce distractions, increase learning, and create a classroom environment where students can focus on their education and connect with their teachers and classmates.

Every school day matters! This year, Wayne-Westland Community Schools is launching the Aim for 8 Attendance Campaign to encourage students and families to prioritize regular attendance.

Our goal is simple: Aim for 8 or fewer absences during the school year.

When students are in school every day, they have more opportunities to learn, build relationships, participate in activities and stay on track for success. Even a few missed days can add up and make a difference.

Aim for 8

The 2026–27 school year is here, and we’re excited to welcome our students, families, and staff back for another great year of learning, growing, and making memories together. In this edition of our Did You Know? series, we’re kicking off the new school year with a very special guest — Madden, our district facility dog! Madden is ready to help us celebrate the start of another school year and remind everyone that Great Futures Start Right Here!
