Wright Elementary School

Please help us give a warm Wright welcome to Ms. Shelby Paradise, who will be joining our 4th grade team in August! 💙

Ms. Paradise brings seven years of teaching experience, a passion for helping students learn and grow, and a heart for building meaningful relationships with kids and families.

Welcome to the Wright family, Ms. Paradise! We can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll make in our school community. 💙💛

What a year in the Wright Library! 📚💙 From thousands of books checked out to hands-on learning experiences and STEM fun, our Kitty Hawks embraced the joy of reading, curiosity, and discovery all year long.

Haven’t completed Annual Verification yet? There’s still time! This quick process helps us plan staffing, class placements, and student supports for the next school year. Need help? Contact Ms. Caitlin in the main office at 319-558-2278 (option 3) or at [email protected]. Thank you for helping us prepare for a successful school year! 💙 cedarrapidsia.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/parents/cedarrapids.jsp

Happy summer from the staff at Wright to all of our Kitty Hawks and families! ☀️💙

We hope you have a fun, safe, and memorable summer. We’ll see you in August!

To our 5th grade graduates, keep shining brightly and show middle school all the amazing things that make you who you are. We are so proud of you!

🎉 Happy Last Day of School, Kitty Hawks! 💙 This is a reminder that dismissal is at 2:20 p.m. today (Wednesday, June 3).

What a great way to celebrate the end of the school year! 🥧💙
Yesterday, we held our Pie in the Face Assembly, recognizing students who consistently demonstrated our 3 B’s, Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible, throughout the year. Each teacher selected two students from their class for this special honor, and lucky winners earned the chance to pie a staff member in the face!
We also proudly recognized 11 students who received their Certificates of Completion and officially graduated from the ELL program. Their hard work, perseverance, and growth are truly worth celebrating. Congratulations to all of our students who were recognized. We are so proud of you! 💙🦅🎉

We are excited to celebrate our 5th grade students tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3rd during our 5th Grade Graduation Ceremony!

For family members and friends who are unable to attend in person, we will be livestreaming the ceremony beginning at 9:15 a.m. You can watch it using this link​: https://www.youtube.com/engagecrschools

We are incredibly proud of our 5th graders and look forward to celebrating this special milestone with them as they prepare for the transition to middle school.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the ceremony!

What a fantastic Field Day at Wright! ☀️💙 Our students enjoyed a day full of sunshine, laughter, and fun as they rotated through exciting activities including water stations, tug-of-war, inflatable slides, and more. The smiles were endless, and the freeze pops were the perfect way to cool off after all the excitement! A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped make the day such a success. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of an amazing school year and create lasting memories together.

Here is the final Kitty Hawk newsletter of the 2025–2026 school year! 💙

Reminder: Wednesday, June 3, is the last day of school, with dismissal at 2:20 p.m. We hope everyone has a safe, fun, and relaxing summer! ☀️
