Exciting Things Happening at GDW

Dear Wildcat Families,

It is hard to believe that school has been back in session for nearly three weeks!  This week I have had the privilege of reading Pete The Cat and His Magic Sunglasses to our PreK classes, listening to some of our Kindergarten students read (we are assessing their letter and letter sound recognition), and assisting many of our first through fifth grade classes with the i-Ready Reading and Math Diagnostic Assessment.  We have had a very busy and productive week here at Gary D. Wright Elementary School!  I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know our students, staff, and families!

I am pleased to announce that as a result of our increasing enrollment, in the upcoming weeks the staff and I will be working to select the newest member of our GDW Team.   We are excited to announce that we will be welcoming an assistant principal to Gary D. Wright Elementary School and are anxious to fill the position with the next dynamic member of our staff.  With over ninety new students enrolled this school year in comparison to last school year, the addition of an assistant principal will enable us to better serve the needs of our growing learning community.  Once selected, I look forward to working in partnership with our assistant principal in support of your student’s success!  Enjoy the upcoming Labor Day Weekend!


Warm Regards,

Mrs. Gravel
