Welcome to Walker-Winter

For the safety of our students and staff, parents and guardians who come to school during the school day must follow our visitor and student release procedures.

When picking up your student or arriving for an appointment, please:

• Show your photo ID to the camera at the front door. This allows our staff to verify your identity before granting access to the building.

• Come into the school in person to pick up your student. Students cannot be released by calling the school and asking that they be sent to the car. A parent or guardian must come inside to complete the release process.

• Sign your student in or out from the vestibule. All student sign-in and sign-out procedures will take place in the vestibule.

When arriving at the school for a meeting or appointment, please:

• Show your photo ID to the camera at the front door. This allows our staff to verify your identity before granting access to the building.

• Enter the school office, provide the name of the staff member you have an appointment with, and obtain a visitor sticker.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

At Wayne-Westland Community Schools, we know that every school day matters. That’s why we’ve launched our “Aim for 8” attendance campaign to encourage families to make regular school attendance a priority.

Our goal is simple: students should aim to have 8 or fewer absences for the entire school year. Consistent attendance helps students stay connected to their teachers, classmates, and learning—and gives them the best opportunity to succeed.

Wayne-Westland Wrap Up September 2026

Dear Wayne-Westland Community School District Community,

As we enter September, schools across the nation observe National Suicide Prevention Month, anchored by World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10. Caring for the mental health and safety of our communities is a collective responsibility, and keeping everyone informed is one of the most effective ways to do this.

Recognizing the warning signs of suicidal ideation allows us to step in early. Changes to look for include:

• Behavioral & Social: Withdrawing from friends, family, or favorite activities; giving away prized possessions; self-destructive choices; sudden changes in hygiene or sleep; or a sudden, unexpected boost in mood after a period of deep depression.
• Verbal & Cognitive: Expressing feelings of hopelessness, excessive guilt, or being a burden; talking or writing about death; making statements like "I can't take it anymore"; or struggling to concentrate due to a fixation on dark thoughts.
• Emotional & Situational: Extreme mood shifts, intense irritability, or processing severe stress from recent loss, breakup, bullying, or academic pressures.
