In MSD Wayne Township, each of our students is more than a number, more than a test score.

While we have become so trained to focus on standardized testing data — and I agree it has its place — I challenge you to get engaged in our schools to see first-hand the amazing work happening each and every day with all of our students. Success is prevalent throughout our district and measured individually, student by student. In Wayne, our students come first and we make decisions that best serve the needs of all of them.

These Westlake Elementary students use independent reading time to select a book from a topic of their own choosing and set their reading goals. Independent reading helps build reading stamina and strengthen a love for reading.
