Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy

Greetings Students!

Happy first day of Quarter Two!

As we step into this new chapter, let’s remember that it’s a great opportunity for a fresh start. Whether you’re looking to improve your grades, make new friends, or simply embrace new challenges, now is the time to set your goals and make them happen!

We’re excited to welcome new students to our school community. Let’s all extend a warm welcome and help them feel at home. A friendly face can make a big difference!

As we move forward, please remember that attendance is key to your success. Being present in class and staying in your assigned areas not only helps you learn but also contributes to a positive school environment. Let’s work together to make this quarter a great one!

Here’s to a fantastic Quarter Two!

This year, students will be placed in one of two designated tracks. Students will be placed in either the 18 credit or 22 credit track.

Working in conjunction with the counseling team, our leadership team will determine which credit track your child will be placed in, depending upon their current grade and number of credits.

All students with last names beginning with letter A-H will receive counseling services from Mr. Booker

All students with last names beginning with letter I-Z will receive counseling services from Ms. Horgan

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic success. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school on time every day and stays throughout the whole day. Consistent attendance throughout the school day allows your child to engage in learning and maximize their educational opportunities fully.

Illness: If your child is not feeling well and cannot attend school, please notify us immediately. Students who are ill should not attend school to prevent the spread of illness to others.

Excused Absences: We understand that there may be instances when your child needs to be absent due to illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or other legitimate reasons. Please notify the school in advance whenever possible to classify the absence as excused.

Unexcused Absences: Unexcused absences negatively impact your child's education. Absences without valid reasons will be considered unexcused, and appropriate actions may be taken per district policy.

Timely reporting of absences helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that your child's absence is properly documented. Absences must be reported within 24 hours.

There are two convenient methods for reporting your child's absence to facilitate efficient communication and accurate attendance records.

• You can notify your child's school through the dedicated attendance line. Please leave a detailed message stating your child's name, grade, and reason for absence.

• You can report absences directly through MiStar, our secure online portal for student information. MiStar provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to submit absences.

Thank you for your ongoing support in creating a positive and productive learning environment for all our students.
