Walled Lake Consolidated Schools' students, families and the community gathered at Walled Lake Northern on Monday, January 15, for its 25th annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration.

This year’s theme was “You Belong”. Students from all 19 schools created artwork, which was on display, about what that theme meant to them.

Walled Lake Central senior Ella Fried and Pleasant Lake Elementary 5th-grader Arbor Zellweger received the Alec Bender Friend of Diversity Award, which honors individuals annually who are true friends of multicultural diversity in our school district and community.

Kevin Szawala, also known as “Mr. Peace”, delivered a passionate message of kindness, love and understanding as the keynote speaker. This year’s program also featured music by the Clifford H. Smart Middle School orchestra, Walled Lake Central chamber singers, and Walled Lake Elementary’s Glee Club.

• Thursday, February 1 - 7 p.m.

Since publishing our current school year calendar in early 2023, the State of Michigan’s legislature recently decided to adjust the date of our state’s upcoming presidential primary from March 12, 2024, to February 27, 2024. As you may know, many of our schools serve as polling places for our local municipalities, and this particular election is sure to draw a larger-than-average voter turnout causing increased foot and vehicle traffic around our schools.

After thorough consideration, the Walled Lake Consolidated School District will be CLOSED on Tuesday, February 27, 2024. We acknowledge the potential inconvenience this calendar change may pose for your family and apologize. This decision is rooted in the unique circumstances surrounding this election; a national election outside the traditional election cycle, and an anticipated larger-than-average voter turnout.

Please complete the following form in order to be considered for the Graduate Spotlight section of the WLCSD quarterly Learning newsletter. The nominated student needs to be a 2016 graduate or before. Please contact pamelacole@wlcsd.org with any questions.

In an effort to celebrate our staff, the WLCSD Community Relations department requests that families fill out the form below to nominate staff who are rock stars in their classrooms and school communities.

A sample of what these shout outs will look like on social media and in our district newsletters is on the right.

Our mission, in partnership with parents and the community, is to become the best educational system in America so all students demonstrate they are caring, responsible, and knowledgeable citizens.
