Frank Wagner Elementary School
Welcome to Frank Wagner Elementary School - Home of the Wildcats!
Spring
Dear Frank Wagner families,
We just finished our carnival/auction and I want to thank the hundreds of people who contributed items and money to support our PTA. The final total for auction purchases was more than $5000! This money will be used to continue providing teaching and learning tools to students and staff and some fun and different items that enhance and promote school pride and enjoyment.
This year we used PTA money to buy Infocus/Document reader sets for many staff members. The PTA also funded beautification projects like the 2 new flower urns that will soon be standing at the front of our west campus entrance and at least 4 assemblies this year including a whole week with the Missoula Children’s Theatre.
WASL will begin April 15 for all elementary schools in Washington state. The K-5 staff at Frank Wagner is confident the children in our school receive challenging instruction in all grades to prepare them for the WASL in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade. When I read the individual classroom newsletters, I know how much teaching and growth is happening. We have students reading several grade levels ahead of their current grade and students learning English as another language are making leaps and bounds in language growth. Struggling readers are monitored for progress on a weekly basis with an assessment called DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills). On the monitoring charts some students are reading 10-20 words per minute faster than just a month or two ago.
We are looking forward to many field trips this spring as well as hosting the first Monroe Public Schools/ Monroe Public Library Young Author’s Conference in May. If you would like to visit our school, please call the office to set up an appointment with an administrator or a counselor. We’d love to show off our great school and the students and staff that make it so.Sincerely,
Robin Fitch

Important Notice About Internet Safety
The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.
Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.
