Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,
On behalf of the Governing Board and the staff of the Wright School District, I welcome you to the 2009-10 school year! I look forward to the continuing academic success for each child in the District. We will continue to improve, monitor and appropriately adjust our instructional processes to best meet our students’ needs.
Over the last several years, many families have expressed interest in having an option for students to continue in the Wright District for middle school, and we are excited to now be able to offer this. Wright School has been converted to Wright Charter School with the addition of our first 7th grade class this Fall. We will be adding 8th grade in 2010-2011. The focus of the school will be academic standards, project-based learning, and environmental education. Please contact the school if you would like more information.
At Wright School District, we are proud of the positive relationships we maintain with our community and partner school districts. To enhance our communication we continuously update our District website with links to our school websites. Please explore our website, www.wrightesd.org, which provides a wealth of information about our schools with links to other organizations in our community. We also appreciate that a child’s success in school is greatly enhanced when parent and community involvement are encouraged. We invite you to visit our schools and to become active participants in your child’s education.
State law requires that a notice be signed and returned by the parent/guardian of each child in our schools that they have received and read the Annual Parent Notification packet. On the separate Emergency Information Card (on white cardstock) there is a box on the lower half of side one of the card where you are asked to check showing that you have received notice of your rights and responsibilities pursuant to Education Code 48980. This acknowledgement does not indicate that consent to participate in any particular program has either been given or withheld. A separate letter will be sent to you prior to a specific activity where parent permission is needed.
Please fill out the Emergency Information Card and return it to your child’s school by the end of the first week of school.
Looking forward to a wonderful school year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or ideas to share.
Sincerely,
Casey J. D’Angelo, Ed.D.
Superintendent
