Enrichment Programs

Academic Enrichment

An enrichment program enables students to realize their potential in various settings within and beyond the classroom. Through academic enrichment programs, students can learn how to positively grow their interests and skills to have a more robust understanding of their potential. Your support in this area helps to fund field trips, hands-on activities in the classroom, and exciting take-home learning materials. 

Sports for ALL 

In Wayne-Westland Community Schools, we believe in the importance of educational athletics, and we want all of our students to be able to participate. Therefore we have chosen NOT to have any participation fees for our student-athletes.   This is true for ALL athletic teams in the district. Your support in these programs ensures NO participation fees are charged for elementary, middle or high school sports teams.  

STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education is an approach that helps students succeed in college and their future careers. STEM education focuses on  hands-on, problem-based learning, collaboration and innovation. When you partner with our STEM programs, you support the STEM Center, robotics, innovative technology in the classroom and other ingenious projects. 

Community Outreach

This enrichment program supports students and families that are experiencing financial hardships. Support programs that apply a holistic approach to education encompass the academic, economic, social, emotional, and physical development of the student and their families.
