Happy New Year 2026!
I hope you enjoyed the holiday season surrounded by loved ones, taking time to appreciate special moments and reflect on the achievements of the past year. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to relax and recharge.
As our students return to the classroom, I am looking forward to the many new experiences, growth, and learning opportunities that 2026 will bring. May the joy of the holiday season stay with you throughout the spring semester. Please join me in anticipating a bright and successful future for all of our students.

The temperatures have dropped, and the weather will start getting cold very soon. Please make sure your children have proper attire for the cold temperatures. We will be going outside unless temperatures are below "feels like" 20 degrees or the weather is hazardous (ice or large amounts of snow) on the playground. Proper attire is required to play in the snow (hats, boots, and gloves). We will be going outside, even if it is snowing.
If your child needs assistance in obtaining warmer clothing, coats, hats, mittens/gloves, etc, don't hesitate to get in touch with the main office at 734-783-5386

WBSD Visitor/Volunteer Management System
Please have your ID with you when you come to visit us!
Our number one priority at Gudith is the safety of our students, staff, and visitors. To make our building safe, we have installed a Visitor Management System. Each time a visitor or volunteer arrives, they are required to immediately report to the main office to scan their identification and receive a visitor's/volunteer badge before they are permitted to enter.
The visitor management system is used to verify the identity of a visitor, keep track of check-in and check-out times, and print custom visitor labels. It also provides a consistent system to track visitors and volunteers across the district.

Do I need to fill out an application to qualify for Michigan School Meals? YES!
As a household, you are responsible for completing the Educational Benefits Form (EBF). Without this information, our district could lose important state and federal funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to.

We love celebrating our students’ birthdays and making them feel special! To keep our classroom safe, healthy, and inclusive for all children, we will no longer be accepting food or edible birthday treats. Instead, we will celebrate birthdays in fun, non-food ways — such as:
The birthday child is wearing a special crown The class will sing the birthday song Choosing a favorite book to bring from home/or choosing one in our class to be read aloud
Please know that we will be sure to make each student feel very special on their day!

Morning Line Up and Afternoon Pick Up Procedures |
|

When dropping off and picking up students, we ask you to observe the following safety procedures:
Arrival:
The drop-off lane is open. This is our KISS & GO ZONE. Pull up next to the sidewalk to let your student out of your vehicle from the passenger side ONLY! If your student needs assistance exiting the car, you MUST park your car in the lot and walk your student to the front of the school to ensure a safe crossing from the parking lot. Please do not drop off your students in the parking lot or the second lane of traffic. Students should not be permitted to walk past parked or moving cars unescorted. All students will have outdoor lineup locations marked by teacher names or grade levels. Please refer to the map to find your line-up location. We will line up outside each day except when it is actively raining or the temperature drops below “feels like 20 °” Students riding the bus will report to their grade level staging area as they exit the bus Only students needing breakfast will be permitted into the building before the bell.
Dismissal:
All students who are getting picked up will be escorted to their outside staging locations. Parents should pick up their student from these staging areas and escort them to their car No student will be allowed to leave the sidewalk unescorted. Do not call your student to your car if you are parked in the main lot Students riding the bus will be staged in the GYM and escorted to their bus as it arrives.
Early Pick Up
-
Please come into the office to sign out your student!
-
Anyone who picks up your child MUST be on your Emergency Contact List.
If you must pick up your student early, plan to pick them up prior to 3:30 pm; however, every effort should be made to alleviate this growing issue by honoring the school schedule.
