OUR VALUES

THE WRIGHT WAY.

Seven values. Two sides. One crew.

Every value has a staff side and a student side. The adults go first.

SEE IT FROM
1
CLEAR EVERY CHILD FOR TAKEOFF
OUR STAFF

We believe every student can fly and we take personal ownership of getting them there. No writing students off, no passing the problem down the hall.

OUR STUDENTS

I am cleared for takeoff. I believe I can fly, I set big goals, and I never count myself out. When it gets hard, I remember why I am here.

2
SUCCEED THROUGH FAILURE
OUR STAFF

We model the Wright brothers, not perfection. We own our mistakes out loud and show students what getting back up looks like.

OUR STUDENTS

Mistakes are how I learn. I own my mistakes, take feedback like a champion, and get back up every single time.

3
EXPLORE EVERYTHING
OUR STAFF

We stay curious about our craft, our students, and better ways of doing things. If it serves students, we will try it, study it, and keep what works.

OUR STUDENTS

I stay curious. I ask big questions, try new things, and test out paths before I choose one. I will not leave WCS wondering who I could have been.

4
NOBODY FLIES ALONE
OUR STAFF

We operate like a flight crew. We ask for help early, offer it freely, and never let a teammate struggle in silence.

OUR STUDENTS

We are a flight crew. I ask for help when I need it, I give help when a classmate needs it, and I never let a teammate struggle in silence. When one of us rises, all of us rise.

5
THE SCHOOL IS THE COMMUNITY
OUR STAFF

Our community is our partner and our strength, never a deficit. We learn the culture, show up in it, and make sure everyone feels welcomed.

OUR STUDENTS

This school is mine. I represent my village, my neighborhood, and WCS everywhere I go, and I make sure everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome. My community is my strength.

6
DO RIGHT BY PEOPLE
OUR STAFF

We keep our word, tell the truth when it is uncomfortable, and treat everyone the same from the boardroom to the front office.

OUR STUDENTS

I do right by people. I tell the truth, keep my word, and treat everyone with respect, whether an adult is watching or not. Doing right is The Wright Way.

7
GET BETTER EVERY DAY
OUR STAFF

Excellence is a habit, not a destination. We seek feedback before it finds us.

OUR STUDENTS

I get a little better every day. I seek feedback, I practice, and I never settle for good enough, because my best today beats my best from yesterday.
