Wright Elementary Monthly News
September 2022
COMMUNICATION
Welcome Falcons and Falcon Families to the 2022-2023 school year!
Every month we will send a newsletter to family members who have a ParentSquare account. We will also post a link on our Facebook page as well as our Wright website (please see links below). If you do not have a ParentSquare account, or have questions about an existing account, please reach out to our office using the contact information at the bottom of this newsletter in the ABOUT US section. We strive to inform families of important information and events that are going on at the school and ParentSquare is the primary source for getting you that information. You can also click on this link: ParentSquare to set up an account or explore all the things that ParentSquare has to offer!
We have a lot of exciting things going on this year as we move toward bringing back some of the traditional events and creating new traditions here at Wright. The IMPORTANT DATES section below will list the monthly events that we have scheduled.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS & INFORMATION

- Breakfast and lunch will be served in our cafeteria and are both FREE for all students (no forms or qualification required).
- All students will have a Chromebook checked out to them for use during the year. If you still have a device from previous years, please return that and you student will be issued a new one.
- We are partnering with the YMCA who will offer on-site, after school childcare. If you are in need of after school care, please call (503) 399-2788.
- DISMISSAL - only families that chose Adult Pick Up will be assigned a number for dismissal. This means that if Independent, YMCA, Bus, or Kuebler Bus is the primary way your student is getting home this year then they will not have a number assigned. If you would like a number for Adult Pick Up as back up, please let the office know asap.
- Please do not park in the bike lane or block intersections when picking up or dropping off your student. This is illegal and creates an unsafe environment for children and families.
- Please do not drop your student's off in the bus lane in front of the school by the road. This is a safety precaution and will be strictly enforced. Also, please make sure your student has safely exited your vehicle and is on the sidewalk before starting to drive away.
- If your student will be absent for any reason, please call our Absence Reporting Line at (503) 399-5503 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
- Please remind your student that they must enter through the front doors in the morning if they would like to get a school breakfast.
We highly encourage students to bring a water bottle every day labeled with their name on it.
