WOULD YOU LIKE TO CATCH UP ON ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THIS WEEK? THIS MONTH?

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to continue monitoring your children’s progress.  Ask to see your child’s student class contracts (see school website), daily class notes, homework and project assignments and graded quizzes and tests.  Our Parent/Teacher Conference is scheduled for Thursday, March 29, from 6:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. and Friday, March 30, from 12:30 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.  Please mark these dates on your calendar. 

I would also like to remind you of the wide range of Academic Intervention Services tutoring available to your children at Susan E. Wagner High School.  Our tutoring schedule is posted on the school website (students should speak to their teachers or department assistant principals).  School day tutoring is available daily and after school and immediately prior to the January, June and August Regents exams.  Please refer to the schedule posted on the school website. 

Parental involvement coupled with strong academic instruction is the key components of a successful high school experience.  Although we inform parents on a regular basis regarding absences, lateness and cutting, it is imperative that parents communicate with their children regarding academic progress.  Please know that student’s report card grades and Regents grades will be the deciding factor in whether they meet PSAL eligibility requirements and most importantly graduate from high school. 

Our College Office continues to help our students prepare for the world of higher education.  Our annual College and Career Fair held on March 14^th was again a huge success.  I am pleased to report that well over 70 college and career representatives were on hand to speak with our students and their families.

As the spring term progresses we look forward to many more exhilarating events at our school such as the Spring Concert and Art Show, school musical “Sweeney Todd,” Latin Fair, Scholars Fair, School Carnival, Wagner Idol, Band Trip to Boston and a variety of graduating senior class events.

As we continue the productive and valuable partnership between Susan E. Wagner High School staff and parents, I want you to know that we will always be available to answer questions that parents may have regarding their child’s progress in school or in other matters of concern.  Any inquiry regarding student subject class should begin with a telephone call or note to your child’s teacher.  If you need further information or clarification following that first step, please do not hesitate to contact our Assistant Principals or Parent Coordinator.
