🚧 Bond 2021 Construction Update! 🏗️💜
Big things are happening at Bates, Erving, Gudith, Wegienka and Yake Elementary Schools!
Construction has been in full swing all summer as we prepare to welcome students back on September 8. Thanks to the support of our community through the 2021 Bond, our elementary schools are being transformed with exciting new learning spaces designed for today's students and tomorrow's opportunities.
When students return, they'll be welcomed by:
✨ New secure entryways/offices
✨ New classroom additions (Gudith)
✨ Remodeled classrooms (Wegienka)
✨ Updated library and media centers (Wegienka)
✨ Innovative SMARTLab learning spaces (Wegienka)
✨ Newly paved parking lots (Bates, Gudith)
These improvements are more than just construction projects - they're investments in our students, our staff and the future of Woodhaven-Brownstown School District.
Thank you to our WBSD community for your continued support and for investing in the future of our schools. We can't wait to welcome our students back to these incredible new spaces!
Take a look at the progress happening across our elementary schools!

Happy Last Day and Happy Summer, WBSD! We will see you back on Tuesday, September 8!
Bates Elementary third graders are celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday in a creative and patriotic way!
Through lessons on the Declaration of Independence, hands-on colonial activities, and a special visit from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Monguagon Chapter, students explored early American history before designing their own flags to represent Bates Elementary. ❤️🤍💙
The winning flag will proudly fly above Bates Elementary next school year as a symbol of school pride, creativity, and patriotism! 🎉🦅

📚 Big news for our littlest learners!
Woodhaven-Brownstown School District proudly participates in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, providing FREE, high-quality books every month to children from birth to age 5 who live in the district.
New, groundbreaking research - the largest shared book reading study ever - shows that children enrolled in Imagination Library have stronger early literacy skills, are more interested in books, and are read to more often at home than children not in the program. By putting books directly into families’ homes during the most critical years of brain development, Imagination Library helps build a lifelong love of reading and sets children up for long-term success. 💜
📖 Enrollment is free for WBSD families with children ages birth–5!
