Also, if you need to change your child’s means of transportation, please call the office directly so that we can ensure the message gets to the correct staff member and student.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a focused and productive learning environment for all our students.

Medication Reminder
Students that need to receive medication at school need to have the proper paperwork filled out. Even if your student received medication last year, a new form needs to be turned in before medication can be dropped off. Please make arrangements to drop off medication and the supporting documentation to the main office. Medication should not be sent to school along with the student for safety concerns.
Food Service Electronic Benefits Form
Wayne-Westland Community Schools participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. This ensures that ALL enrolled students receive breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household!
To help us maintain this program, we ask parents and guardians to complete and sign the Education Benefits Form (available on the Meal Magic Family Portal https://waynewestland.familyportal.cloud/) and return it to your child's school as soon as possible.
This form is crucial for your child's school to receive important funding from state and federal programs . Your help makes a big difference!
For any questions or assistance, contact our Food Services Department at 734-419-2118.
