Have a wonderful Wagner Day!

Greetings Wagner Family!

How swiftly the first quarter has flown by!!

We are closing in on Winter recess, and while everyone (scholars and staff included…lol) looks forward to the break, it is also a time when our scholars are on our minds and we wonder how they are faring outside of their routines. We wish you a joyous Winter Break, and look forward to seeing our scholars on Wednesday January 3, 2024!!

Currently, we are in the midst of STAR Testing (ask your scholars how that is going for them) excursions and award assemblies (PBIS, Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, College Trips, Museum Trips) and more!

As we move forward into quarter two, I wanted to take the opportunity to welcome you, either by attending our Community Cafes (our next one is this Wednesday, December 15th at 10 AM) or by emailing me (email at the bottom of this webpage) to engage with the Wagner community and share ideas about things you would like to help us to create space for.

We have an exciting event, #TheTRADESAtWagner happening on Saturday December 16th from 9 AM-12 PM. It is an opportunity for our middle school scholars to have HANDS ON access to the building trades!  We are so excited!

Continue to encourage greatness in your scholar. We are honored to be in service to them and will continue to support them as they navigate the often bumpy middle school road

Have a wonderful week!

MISSION
At Wagner, we work to create an environment that fosters the academic, social, and emotional well-being of the whole child. Our community encourages and challenges our students to be self-confident, exhibit resilience, and become empathetic agents of change in their community and beyond.

VISION
Wagner Middle School in partnership with our families, partners, and greater community, strives to develop a commitment to active learning and citizenship fueled by engaging instructional practices and preparation for high school and post-secondary success. As we believe #OptionsAreNOTOptional, this preparation includes equitable access to college and careers.

Wagner Middle School is located in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia and serves over 500 children in 6th through 8th grade.
We are a caring school community that is on the rise.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow schools to include information from your child’s education records in certain school publications.

Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by November 6, 2023.

Find more information, including the forms you need HERE. “
