Welcome to the 2024 – 2025 School Year at Wright!
Richard R Wright Families,
Happy New Year! The beginning of the school year always marks a time of promise and possibility. The upcoming 2024-25 school year is no exception! With a talented staff and a supportive community, our students are prepared to have another great year at Richard R. Wright Elementary School. Wright is an educational community committed to providing a nurturing environment. Our students will develop a passion for learning that will result in a strong foundation that they can use to achieve future success through the development of persistence, collaboration, and exercising perseverance.
I will be sharing our school goals for the 2024-25 school year in more detail during our Back to School Night, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 3:00 pm. I ask that ALL families please join us to walk in the shoes of their children, meet our staff and build community. Some highlights for this year include the launch of our STEM intervention class, which will focus on hands-on learning with real-world applications to help our students develop a variety of skill sets, including creativity and 21st century skills. This year, some of our partnerships include the University of Pennsylvania, St. Joseph’s University, Temple University, Cheyney University, Philabundance and HopeFUL. At Wright, we want to help create awesome humans by doing things the WRIGHT WAY: being respectful, being responsible and being peaceful problem-solvers. I am truly looking forward to this school year getting to know your children and working together to build an awesome school community. Below I’ve included some info that will help us have a Great First Day!
