A Message From the Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to a new school year at Newburg Elementary School! On behalf of our faculty and staff, I am excited to welcome you and your family to another year of learning, growth, and connection. As I begin my second year as principal at Newburg, I am grateful to be part of this incredible school community.

Last year was a rewarding experience as I connected with families and built strong relationships with students and staff. With 14 years of experience in educational administration, it is an honor to continue serving the children and families of Newburg Elementary. The strong sense of community, dedication to learning, and support for students make this school a very special place.

I look forward to building on the strong foundation established last year and to another year filled with learning, joy, and success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas—I truly value your partnership and involvement.

Warm regards,
Melissa Wright
