We are getting a new look over the summer!!!

It is finally time to complete the bond construction at Wright, and we are very excited. Our school office will be where the bulk of the work will take place, moving our main service area right by the front doors, and adding additional security doors within the entryway of the building. There will also be seismic upgrades in some of our classrooms, and new exterior paint.

Office staff will be housed at Sumpter Elementary School and available by phone from June 16th-June 28th on our normal office number (503-399-3198). The office at Wright will re-open on Tuesday, August 29th.
