Please call the office to update your phone number if it changes. It is very IMPORTANT to know what your phone number is so we can contact you in case of an EMERGENCY.
If you need to pick up your child early, you MUST be in the building by 3:30PM to pick up your student. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Literacy is always important, make sure your child finds a love for reading. Please check out EPIC to find endless books to read to your child.

Future computer scientists are hard at work coding with Ozobots. Ozobot is a robot that reads different codes with different colored markers. Our Hornets are learning the fundamentals of computer science while working hard in groups creating algorithms to finish the task.
BONUS: Mama Gee's nieces joined to learn about what it takes to become a teacher. They are steady on their journey of becoming brilliant future educators.
Please watch Cyber Fareedah on YouTube about different parental controls on iPhones and devices. She is brilliant in explaining different programs and apps to use to keep your child safe online. Click HERE to learn.
Please DO NOT enter the front loop from the exit!
It is unsafe for our Hicks students and their families. Mrs. Gee is working with Inkster Police to start ticketing parents that do these things because student safety is number one priority.
If you need to park, please enter through the driveway closest to Cherry Hill and follow traffic around the loop. Thank you for your continued cooperation in keeping everyone SAFE at Hicks!
If your student is going to be absent, please make sure you contact our attendance line at 734-419-2666. This is a different number than our regular office line! Thank you!
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.
There's an app for that! Wayne-Westland Community Schools has a new mobile app that enables subscribers to quickly access information from our district website. You can view lunch menus, access parent and student connect, save events to your phone from our school calendars and much more. There are also quick links to our district Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube channels.
