Dear CHS Middle School Parents,
As we bring another school year to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your continued partnership and support. This year has been one of continued growth, learning, and shared success. Your involvement and encouragement have played a vital role in making that possible.
Our school remains a truly special place, not only for the children who learn and grow here each day, but also for the adults who are fortunate to be part of this caring school community. Together, we’ve created an environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and safe summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, refreshed and ready for another great year!
Respectfully,
Nayal Maktari
MESSAGE FROM MR. GREG DIAMOND, WLN HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Walled Lake Northern High School is currently going through renovations using the 2019 Bond Funds. Because of this, the campus is completely closed to the public. The Northern Administrative team will be working out of Clifford Smart Middle School during the summer. We plan to have at least one administrator available from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer.
Hi CHS Parents!
My name is Allie Wasiak and I will be rejoining the CHS Middle School Staff in the Fall as a 6th and 7th grade math teacher. Some of you may recognize me as I was a part-time staff member at CHS during the 23/24 school year. I am excited to be returning to CHS next year! I was born and raised in West Bloomfield and attended Walled Lake Schools! Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, Ben, and I have a 3 year old daughter, Nora along with or 2 dogs, Gus and Marvel. We spend lots of time Up North, attending sporting events, and concerts. This will be my 10 year teaching so I am looking forward to making it the best one yet.
I look forward to a great upcoming school year!
My name is Frankie Hernandez. I’ve been teaching ELA at Geisler Middle School, and I am looking forward to joining Clifford Smart as a 6th and 7th grade Social Studies teacher! I received my bachelor's degree from Oakland University and my Master’s degree in Secondary Teaching from University of Michigan.
I have two daughters, who are both still in elementary school. We have a cat, Chonky, a fish, and this summer we are taking care of my daughter’s class pet, Turbo, who is a hermit crab. We love to spend time outside, swimming in the lake, going for bike rides, and reading as many books as possible. I’m excited to join the Clifford Smart family!
Thank you,
Frankie Hernandez
