Greetings members of the WWIA Community!

Welcome back to a new school year at Wayne-Westland Innovative Academy! We are excited to see familiar faces and greet new members of our school community. As we embark on another academic journey together, we want to emphasize the importance of dedication, hard work, and a commitment to excellence in everything we do. We would also like to stress the importance of maintaining good attendance!

Our small school is a small community where each student and staff member plays a vital role. The connections you make here with your peers, teachers, and staff are the foundation for both your personal and academic growth. This year, we are placing a strong emphasis on academics, and we encourage each of you to set high goals for yourselves as you work towards graduation. Remember, your education is the key to unlocking future opportunities, and your success depends on the effort you put in every day.

Our team has been preparing to provide you with engaging and challenging learning experiences. We are committed to helping you reach your full potential, whether it’s mastering a new concept, improving your writing skills, or exploring a new area of interest. We are here to support you, but we also expect you to take ownership of your learning. This means following the rules, staying organized, remaining on task, asking questions, seeking help when needed, and maintaining a positive attitude toward our school community.

In addition to academics, we also encourage you to get involved in school activities. Whether it’s participating in sports at John Glenn or Wayne Memorial or becoming active in student council, these experiences enrich your time in high school and help you develop skills that will serve you well in the future.

We are confident that this year will be filled with growth, learning, and achievements. Let’s work together to make it a successful and rewarding year for everyone.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Educationally yours,

Mr. K. Rosser

Principal, WWIA

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.
