🎒 Welcome back WBSD Students 🎒
We’re excited to kick off a new school year filled with learning, growth, and endless possibilities! Let’s make this year the best one yet.📚 Today we are making history with our new reconfiguration at our schools. #BackToSchool #WarriorPride #WhyWBSD #NewBeginnings
We hope all of our students and their families had a fun and safe Labor Day! Just a reminder that school starts tomorrow, Tuesday, September 3, for all students! Yake Elementary School hours are 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
The WBSD 2024-2025 calendar is available! If you didn't receive one at Open House, they're available at the Board of Education office M-F, 7:30a-4:30p
First Day of School!
Good evening, this is Mr. Podlewski calling with a message for our Yake families. I can hardly believe that we are down to our last weekend of the summer. All students begin with a full day of school starting at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Please note that all students will arrive to and be dismissed from their exterior classroom doors on Tuesday. Starting on Wednesday morning, parents with children in Young Fives and kindergarten are asked to park in the visitor’s lot and walk their children to the main doors where they will be escorted to their indoor morning line-up locations by their safeties or their teachers. Parents of 1st graders are asked to walk their children to the exterior classroom doors until they are comfortable finding their exterior classroom doors on their own. Please do not drop students off in grades 2-5 before 8:50 a.m. Please feel free to contact our main office if you have any questions about our morning drop-off procedures. Please be patient during morning drop-off, especially on the first day and first week of school. If you are in a hurry in the morning, waiting in the morning drop-off loop on the first day of school is not the place where you will want to be.
Children wishing to come in for breakfast may enter through the front doors starting at 8:40 a.m.
As a reminder, outside visitors are not allowed in our school without an appointment or unless they are scheduled to work as a volunteer. Any parent or visitor wishing to drop off or pick up a child, drop off a backpack or a lunch, etc. will need to call our office at (734)692-2230 or press the Ring Doorbell for assistance. Staff members will welcome students in, assist them in getting to class and/or pick up backpacks, lunches and/or similar items as needed.
If parents wish to pick students up prior to dismissal, our office must be called before 3:20 p.m. Children will not be walked out to parents after 3:20 p.m.
I hope all of our families have a great evening and a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I will look forward to seeing all of my Gators when they return to school on Tuesday morning. Remember, Tuesday morning will be a kiss and go morning as parents will say goodbye at the classroom exterior doors starting at 9:00 a.m.

Say HELLO to the newest members of the WBSD Community! New Staff orientation and New Teacher Academy have been full of excitement for the 2024-25 school year!
As a reminder, all WBSD Schools have new start and end times for the 2024-2025 school year.
Good Evening Yake Families,
This is Mr. Podlewski calling and I am so excited to welcome our Gators back to school. I wanted to remind all families about our Open House, which is scheduled to take place from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. During our Open House, families will have an opportunity to meet their child’s teacher, learn about the curriculum and get some important tips to start the year off on a great note.
We are all excited to see our Gators and their families tomorrow afternoon as we showcase the highest rated elementary school Downriver.
Thank you and have a great night!
Tim Podlewski

Woodhaven-Brownstown School District students will have access to free school meals again this new 2024-25 school year.
Funding for the Michigan School Meals program was secured through a $200 million appropriation in the 2025 School Aid budget signed last month by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The program provides one breakfast and one lunch to each public school student at no cost. Michigan began making school meals free to all children through the state program starting in the 2023-24 school year.
Families do not need to pay for meals, but are asked to complete family income forms with their district. WBSD families can access the online link here, https://sisweb.resa.net/FSApp/Main/Login or fill out the paper form which comes home with students on the first day of school. Additional meals and a la carte items are not included in this program.
Be sure to check out the schools’ online menus in the WBSD app or online at https://mywbsd.nutrislice.com/
