Zebra Nation,


We had an amazing 1st Week! It was so good to see our staff and students back in the building. We are off and running....


Thank you to our parents/guardians that came to our Open House on Thursday. We appreciate you coming, as our partnership in education will make us stronger for your scholar!


As we get into routines, please make sure to check this 'Weekly Communication' as I send it out most every Sunday evening around 6pm, unless we have a Holiday weekend, where I will send this out Monday evening around 6pm. It will always provide you valuable information for what's happening and/or coming at WMHS.



Please fill out the Electronic Benefits Form online at: https://waynewestland.familyportal.cloud/benefits/onlyapplying - This information is collected for funding purposes and potential student benefits.



EMU Bright Futures After School Program:

EMU Bright Futures After School Program is a FREE program serving students in grades 2nd - 12th. Bright Futures meets after school at WMHS for 2.5 hours, Mondays through Thursdays, tentatively starting on September 21st. Each day consists of academic enrichment, dinner and clubs, with specific focuses on social-emotional learning and community building.



Have a great week!
