Wright Elementary School has served the Altoona community since 1971. Our school is composed of a wide range of backgrounds, talents, learning styles, and abilities. Wright Elementary is proud of its history, warmth, and inviting school climate.

Our Vision is to develop a program that promotes the academic and social success of the “whole child.” As a school community, we will work together to meet the diverse needs of our learners, produce well-rounded citizens, and life-long learners.

Technology is infused into the curriculum through integrated activities both in the computer labs and with the use of the latest technology tools. New is the 1 to 1 laptop initiative that provides laptops to all our students in grades 3 through 6. This is a welcome addition to our state of the art technology integration program at Wright. Promethean boards, activslates, and activotes will also be in every grade level classroom K-6 to enhance our technology integration.

Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and caring learning environment that embraces the academic challenges set by the Pennsyslvania State Standards and Assessments. Through integration of technology, commitment to the curriculum, differentiated instruction, Response to Intervention, and partnership with families and community members, we will provide the pathway for all children to develop their talents to be successful at the highest level as a ”whole child.”
