Wagner Weekly Newsletter
Week of September 11th
Energy Action Day is Wednesday, 12/6/23! Students and families are encouraged to pledge to reduce energy usage on 12/6/23. Students and Teachers are also pledging to reduce their energy consumption at school by turning out some of the lights and limiting the use of electronic devices like SMART Boards.
We are encouraging students to wear black on 12/6/23, Energy Action Day, to show their support.

Wagner is excited to present our Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 5th at 6:00 pm. The evening will feature the Jazz Band, Senior Band, and the Wagner 6th Grade Singers. Admission to the concert is free however, Wagner will be accepting a $10 suggested donation to support the amazing band program. Come for an exciting evening of music!
The Department of Education has a system to alert families when their students are absent from school. When a student is marked absent, the family will receive an automated text message, phone call and/or email from the NYC Department of Education. Please note that if a student is not in their homeroom during the required time, between 8:25-8:30am, their teacher is mandated to mark them absent. We encourage you to take a moment to talk to your student about the importance of arriving on time to their homeroom. Thank you for your cooperation.
