Hello Families,

I hope by now you have set your clocks due to daylight savings time. This is such a wonderful time of the year. I love celebrating holidays and seeing the excitement and energy in our students and staff. It’s hard to imagine that we are close to our winter season. Already our days are shorter and the cooler weather is thinking about settling in. I want to remind all families to dress for the weather. Please remember to label your student’s belongings with their names so that they are located and returned when misplaced.

We have a lot to be grateful for here at Mary H. Wright. We have a wonderful, caring staff our custodians, our paraprofessionals, our office staff, and all of our fantastic teachers. I know I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work with all of them and I know your child(ren) are in good hands. The SC State Report Card was released this week. Mary Wright scored Average. This is our third year in a row scoring Average. I am proud of our students and staff for maintaining this score. It is a huge deal for us and I am grateful. Here is the link if you would like to read how our school did on all domains.

We have a supportive community with wonderful and giving parents, to which we all say thank you for all that you do! Finally, we have incredible students, who challenge themselves every day to learn and be engaged. They are why we are here every day!

School will reopen on Wednesday, November 5th. Please send your child back to school even though we have a short week.

Picture make up day is on Friday. If your child was absent when pictures were taken, they will get their picture taken. If your child was not absent, you MUST send a note to school if you want them to retake their picture.
