Wegienka Elementary School

Exceptional; walking through the halls or being in a classroom is ALWAYS a positive learning experience.

I love having my children attend Wegienka! For the past 4 years that we have been here I have never had a problem that was left unresolved. The teachers have always been willing to listen and provide suggestions on how I can work with them in my children's education. Considering there is limited staff to take care of 430 + students and their parents, I think turn around for questions, needs and concerns are taken care in a reasonable amount of time. I have only begun to get involved with volunteering at the school, but it has been a pleasant experience. What impressed me is that the conversation is lead around parents planning and doing, not just 3 or 4 people making all the decisions on how my fundraising money is being spent. I was surprised to find out that a financial report is given at monthly parent meetings so if anyone wants to question something they can show for their actions. Not every school is going to be perfect and I do wish that the schools overall communication process happened faster. However as a parent I am finding out that there are many ways that I can be responsible in getting the information on my own too instead of just waiting for it.

I think Wegienka is a a wonderful school. The entire staff cares for the students academic excellence and their well being. The PTO that is involved with in the school does so much for the kids. I must note to those who do not think highly of the fund raising, you can not get something from nothing. Our children are blessed to have not only the staff at Wegienka but also the parents that are willing to help participate through the Parent Teacher Organization.

This school is a second home to me. I love working with such a committed staff. Our Wegienka family ROCKS!! As a whole, we love our children and go above and beyond to meet each child's needs~ Our curriculum is constantly being upgraded to maximize academics. I enjoy working for the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District:)
