WBSD is excited to partner with Varsity Tutors for Schools to bring our students enrichment opportunities over the summer. Students can login through Clever https://clever.com/in/wbsd and click the Varsity Tutors icon to access summer enrichment opportunities and classes.
Every week we will highlight new opportunities for elementary, middle and high school students. While you’re in the application, feel free to search and see what interests your students the most!
First up, let’s get right to it! Roblox Coding Camp is the top pick for this week for both elementary and middle school students. Check out Codeverse to begin your coding journey! High school students might want to consider the Secrets of SAT Reading & Writing Class.
These classes are free for WBSD students to learn what interests them this summer!
Planning a Vacation or Staycation this summer? Both are a great opportunity to slip in some fun lessons without your students even knowing!
Vacation - make vacation a lesson! Involve students in the packing and preparation process like making a list of things they’ll need. Encourage students to keep a journal about their experiences. They can compare and contrast things when they arrive at their destination.
Staycation - backyard camping helps with teaching outdoor skills. Building a “camp” or picnic indoors is an opportunity for students to help out, make lists, and discuss things you will need for your adventure. Plan a trip to the park and talk about observations while you’re at the park. Park playdates are an opportunity to help children connect with others and work on their social skills and socialization.
Happy Monday WBSD Community!

It's the Warrior Way Podcast Episode everyone has been waiting for: Let's talk about the "WUE" (pronounced 'WOO') Woodhaven Upper Elementary School. Take a listen as Supt. Mark Greathead interviews Josh Satterfield, director of curriculum and Roger Guganus, principal of Patrick Henry Middle School, soon-to-be the new WUE - Woodhaven Upper Elementary.

One of the most "important" questions I received from the incoming WUE students was, what will they be able to get for lunch and if they would be getting recess.
Because those two items are on the minds of my incoming students I wanted to share with you two things.
The first is YES, every student will have recess during their lunch-recess period. Depending on which lunch their class has, they will either have recess before they eat or after they eat.
Speaking of eating...
Below is a visual to show the lunch options that will be available EVERY DAY in our lunch room. Students do not have to "pre-order" in the morning or take lunch count, they will simply wait in line and then go to the area in the lunch line that has the food option they want for the day. This is very similar to what they do at BMS and WHS.
I hope this information brings a smile on every student's face!
Let me know if you have any questions,
Mr. G
Finding equally fun and educational activities for children in the summer can be a challenge! The Detroit Zoo and Toledo Zoo make it easy. The fun of a trip to the zoo is seeing animals from across the globe and getting to learn about them. During your next trip, we encourage you to stop at each exhibit and read the posted information, explore world maps and try to learn new things.

Artwork from Wegienka Elementary student artists will hang in the WBSD Central Office this summer. We have such talented students and staff in the WBSD!
As we celebrate summer, we want to remind our district families of the services available while school is not in session over summer.
Elementary students are encouraged to spending time working on the activities in their Think Stretch workbooks and come to the check ins! All of the meet ups will be held at Woodhaven Civic Park Pavilion on Hall Road.
