PARENT ASSOCIATION & SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM

WHO IS THE RF WAGNER PARENT ASSOCIATION?

THE ROBERT F. WAGNER JR. PARENTS ASSOCIATION (RFWPA) IS A NON-PROFIT VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL, OUR STUDENTS, AND WAGNER FAMILIES IN VERY PURPOSEFUL WAYS. COMPRISED MAINLY OF PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS DEDICATED TO SEEING OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS THRIVE AT ROBERT F. WAGNER JR. SECONDARY SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY, THE PARENT ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTES TO A POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT BY HOSTING AND PROVISIONING FOR VARIOUS ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS, FACILITATING VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES THAT CULTIVATE COMMUNITY BUILDING, AND COLLABORATING WITH THE WAGNER STAFF TO ASSIST WITH SCHOOL-SPONSORED ACTIVITIES. YOUR INVOLVEMENT SUPPORTS THE SCHOOL IN MANY WAYS, BUT NONE AS IMPORTANT AS CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR CHILD'S SUCCESS. STUDENTS WHOSE PARENTS ARE INFORMED AND INVOLVED TEND TO HAVE A HIGHER DEGREE OF ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SUCCESS. AS A WAGNER PARENT, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY A MEMBER OF THE PARENTS ASSOCIATION. YOU ARE WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS TO DISCUSS ISSUES PERTINENT TO WAGNER FAMILIES AND PROMOTE PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAMS WHILE REMAINING A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS. OUR MISSION AND GOALS BEST DESCRIBE US.

PA EXECUTIVE BOARD

THE ROBERT F. WAGNER JR. PARENT ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE BOARD COMPRISES ELECTED OFFICERS, COMMITTEE CHAIRS, AND SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVES. IT MEETS ONCE PER MONTH TO CONDUCT PA BUSINESS. THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE PARENT ASSOCIATION E-BOARD IS TO FOSTER UNITY WITHIN THE PARENT BODY WHILE WORKING TO ACHIEVE SERVICE AND FUNDRAISING GOALS. THE BOARD ACCOMPLISHES THESE GOALS THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT AND TIRELESS EFFORTS OF THE PARENT COMMUNITY. THE PA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS WERE ELECTED IN JUNE 2024 TO SERVE FOR ONE YEAR. WE HOPE YOU WILL CONTACT THESE OFFICERS TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS AND VOLUNTEER TO WORK WITH THE PA.
