Dear Wagner Family:
It is almost time to start a new school year! My entire team and I are excited and ready to safely welcome all of our students back to school starting August 26 – the first day of school.
All summer, we have been preparing for an incredible new school year. We are adding both physical and academic processes and tools to continue to protect everyone’s health and wellbeing in our school. One of those includes our mandate regarding footwear. All scholars are to wear sneakers or closed toe rubber bottomed footwear. Middle schoolers are often very active, and non-rubberized bottoms are not ideal.
Our teachers and school staff are attending special training sessions to continue to support our students’ social, emotional and educational needs. Student schedules are being created. Our hard-working custodians have been cleaning and sanitizing our school. And, our cafeteria workers are preparing to serve your children a delicious and healthy breakfast and lunch each school day. We are even more excited about our new Culinary Arts elective for ALL scholars, our growing Building Trades access, our added SEL programming for scholars and adults, our International Travel opportunities, community partnerships, beautification improvements in our school yard!
This year, we’re delighted to welcome a few new additions to our staff! Our Wagner team is growing and providing so many new wonderful things for our scholars!
I invite all of our families to attend our in-person the week of September 16, 2024! Our actual date will be announced on Class Dojo This will be a great time to meet key staff members, learn more about the new school year and tour our school. In the meantime, I encourage you to take a few minutes to visit www.philasd.org/ringthebell for the latest back-to-school information in multiple languages.
We will continue to use Class Dojo for announcements and school event notifications. Click this here to get connected in ClassDojo!!
All of us at General Louis Wagner Middle School look forward to welcoming students back to school in person on August 26! As always, please feel free to reach out to me at 215-400-3560 or cgrier2@philasd.org with any questions.
