MHW Parent Newsletter

At Mary H. Wright, we are committed to focusing on core academic content, implementing effective instructional practices, and providing rigorous learning experiences. Our students are off to a great start in their learning journey.

Our teachers meet weekly with the reading and math coaches to develop common assessments and analyze data to guide their instruction. We want to assure you that we are dedicated to ensuring your child learns everything they need to know by the end of the year. However, we can't achieve this without your involvement in your child's education.

Thank you for connecting with us on Class Dojo and for reaching out to your child's teacher with any questions or concerns. Your support is greatly appreciated!

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday at 6:00 PM for our PTO Open House. Additionally, on Friday, we will be welcoming grandparents. Please note that these events will start on time, so we kindly ask that you arrive promptly. Our Book Fair will be open during both events.

Have a KIND week,

Mrs. Jordan
