Good Evening: This is Bryan Pawlicki, Principal of C. Milton Wright High School.
Our first day of school was very successful and we are off to a great start to the school year. I want to remind everyone of our Back-to-School Night this Thursday evening, September 4, 2025, starting at 5pm-unitl 7pm.
We will be moving through an A-Day then a B-Day schedule. Each class block will be 10 minutes. Parents can start the evening in their child's A1 classroom at 5pm and we will move through the A Day, A1-A2-A3-A4. Following the A-Day we will then move through the B-Day schedule. We ask that parents come prepared with their child's schedule from Home Access Center. Teacher will be available to review the classroom syllabus and expectations for the classroom. If parents need more time with a teacher, we ask you schedule a parent/teacher conference at another time. Following the Back-to-School Night there will an Athletics Meeting for parents of Athletes at 7pm in the Auditorium. I look forward to meeting everyone at the Back-to-School Night.
