Weather Station

Weather Underground PWS KNYNEWYO1024     Wagner Middle School is excited to announce that we now have a weather station operating on our roof that provides localized weather to our school. Connected over the internet through Weather Underground, we can get extremely local forecasts. Weather Underground is a global community of people connecting data from environmental sensors like weather stations and air quality monitors and provides the rich, hyperlocal data we want to power our passion for learning at Wagner. It is providing local weather data to NOAA for use by both meteorologists and climatologists, both amateur and professional alike. The weather station was procured through funds from Urban Advantage and parent donations. Kudos to Mr. Winterfield and Mr. J. Colon for all your hard work by not only bringing this incredible weather station to our school but also actually installing on the roof as well. We would also like to give a shout out to our favorite custodial engineer, Mr. McParland for all his help as well.

Principal's Corner

September 5, 2018 

Dear Families,

 Welcome to the 2018 – 2019 academic year! Our teachers and staff are so excited and looking forward to a great year filled with rich learning experiences for your child. Our focus is on providing each child with new challenges that will result in a rewarding school experience.

 There are many dedicated professionals at Wagner who are committed to ensuring your child’s success. Over the years, as both a teacher and an administrator, I have been asked by families what they can do to help support the school’s efforts. Some things that you can do include:

  • Help your child set up a homework location and schedule. Research has shown that students who diligently complete homework are consistently successful. Students are expected to complete homework and read for a minimum of 45 minutes. Additionally, a Wagner planner is a great organization tool and can be purchased from your child’s homeroom teacher for $7.00. Be sure to read the family handbook with your child that is included in your Welcome Folder. Create your child’s schedule and help them stick to it.
  • Attend curriculum night on Thursday, September 20th, 4:30-7:30 PM. During this evening you will have the opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, guidance counselor and assistant principal. At this time, teachers will explain their class expectations, homework policies and provide additional ways for you to support your child’s learning.
  • For those of you who are new to the school, we have an exceptional Parents’ Association! Come to the first Parents’ Association meeting on Friday, September 28th at 8:45am, to learn how you can become involved.

As we begin the year, please remember that this is your school and we welcome your involvement. Remember that we are here to help. The staff at Wagner Middle School is committed to providing your child with the best education and will do everything possible to make your experience at Wagner Middle School a positive one. Although I want to make myself available to you, my first priority is to the students and the staff when they are in the building. For this reason, the best time to get in touch with school administration is before 8 AM or after 3:15 PM. Unless it is an emergency, we generally do not return phone calls until after 3:15 PM.

For those families who use the internet regularly, email our school’s parent coordinator, Sheila Gonzalez-Liffey, (sgonzalez@mail.wagner167.org), to join our school’s listserv. Once signed up, notices and announcements that are sent home via backpack mail, will be automatically e-mailed to you. Please also regularly check our school website at www.wagner167.org for important information including daily announcements, letters from assistant principals, etc.

I look forward to working with you and your child. It is going to be a great year! 

Sincerely,

Jennifer Rehn Losquadro

Principal

  • Sign Up for Wagner's Saturday Family Class - Stop Motion Animation, starting March 16th

    Back, for the fourth year in a row, Wagner Middle School will have a 5 week Family Arts course with a teaching artist that takes place at Wagner Middle School. The program can accommodate approximately 20 families (2 members per family). Each week’s session is 2 hours long. This year, we are delighted to have last year's teaching artist, Andrea Goldman, continue to teach us about “Stop Motion Animation” (SMA).

     The purpose of the Family Arts Program here at Wagner. is for our families to learn, explore and indulge in the arts, together. As we have such a large school, and a limited number of spots per class allowed, we have requested that each family group consist of 1 guardian and 1 student (no more, no less).

THE ELM PROJECT / CAMP AMERIKIDS TOY DRIVE!!

Wagner needs your help in providing over 150 inner-city children living with the challenges of chronic illness a new toy for the holidays! We are collecting NEW, UNWRAPPED games and toys suitable for children between the ages of 7 and 16 to be distributed at our holiday reunion this December!   

ARISTA Opportunity:

Two hours of ARISTA credit will be earned by writing one page about the ways in which young people can impact the lives of others through service.  In this page it would be great to include research about an organization or charity the student would like to become more involved in and the reasons why.  All toys and essays must be in by December 10th and should be brought to the main office.   Please know that ARISTA credit will be given based on the essay even if it is submitted without a toy. Thank you very much for your support of the Elm Project and Camp Amerikids!   https://www.elm-project.org/
