Dear Wolfpack Families,

I hope this message finds you well as we move into March, the longest month of the school year at Wright Science and Technology Academy!

I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible efforts of our students during the Uniform Challenge—they truly stepped up, and I am so proud of their commitment to representing our school with pride. I’ve also seen a noticeable increase in overall uniform compliance, which helps keep students focused on their learning. Thank you for your support in reinforcing this expectation!

It was also amazing to celebrate so many student successes at our Quarterly Awards Ceremony in February and witness firsthand the growth happening in our classrooms. Our students are putting in the effort, and it is paying off!

Now that we are officially past the halfway point of the school year, I am incredibly proud of how far we have come as a staff and school community. The dedication of our teachers, the hard work of our students, and the support from our families continue to push us forward.

Looking ahead, we will be piloting our new cell phone policy in specific grades this spring. Stay tuned, as we will be sharing more details soon!

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Let’s keep this momentum going as we head into the rest of the school year!

Go Wolfpack!

Best,

Nate Meyers

Congratulations to all the multilingual learners who completed ACCESS testing! Students worked hard to complete four assessments of their English language development in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We look forward to celebrating student’s progress when we receive the test results in May, especially those who will accomplish the goal of being designated Former English Language Learners this year.
