If families cannot make the orientation, the presentation will be recorded and we will post it on our YouTube channel following the meeting. Depending on overall attendance, a three foot distance may not be possible. It is recommended that masks be worn by both vaccinated and unvaccinated attendees.
The academic calendar for 2021-2022 can be found on both the school and district home pages, please mark your calendars with these important dates at the start of the new school year.
Locker Set Up Dates and Times:
In order to provide students with an opportunity to locate their lockers and organize their school supplies prior to the start of school, we will be offering Locker Set Up Days. Volunteers will be available on the dates and times listed above to help students locate their lockers, use their combinations, and organize their supplies. We encourage students to visit Daniel Wright on their grade level’s assigned day; however, students may come on a different grade level day if that better fits their summer schedules. Please note that students will not be able to access their lockers on Tuesday, Aug. 17 and Wednesday, Aug. 18 due to opening year staff meetings at DW. Time is given to all students on the first day of school for locker set up if you are unable to attend one of the dates listed above.
