A Note from Mr. Manheimer Hello Wagner Ranch Families, Last year brought much success to Wagner Ranch. We started the year off being greeted by excellent results from our spring CAASPP Testing. Scores for Wagner Ranch, along with the other three elementary schools in Orinda, are among the absolute highest in the State, and Wagner students scored at or near the top when compared to their peers throughout the district. Shortly thereafter we were honored to receive the Distinguished School Award based on the strength of our science program. In addition to a strong academic program, we ushered in school-wide Kidpower instruction which is meant to empower students, parents, and teachers by using a strengths-based approach to create a culture of safety. To enhance school culture we engaged heavily in International Kindness Day by having our own Kindness week and participating in the global effort through Dance for Kindness. Our primary playground got a major renovation with the addition of new play apparatus and poured rubber matting. We enhanced emergency preparedness with the installation of numerous security cameras, mirrored appliques on exterior door windows, and devices that allow doors to remain in a locked position while still enabling easy access to rooms during day to day operations. We also purchased additional walkie talkies to facilitate communication both in support of at risk students and to deal with emergency situations. In the coming year we will continue our focus on providing an even stronger, more comprehensive instructional program. As we move deeper into implementing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), greater cohesion of instruction through a tightening of our scope and sequence, enhancing students’ proficiency with science journals, and providing more engaging, purposeful investigations will guide our efforts. We will continue to fine tune our writing and reading programs and bring greater alignment to math instruction both within and between grade levels. Last spring, in a joint venture between The Orinda Union School District and our Parents’ Clubs, a STEAM and Innovation teacher was hired to support our schools in a quest to provide more hands on, project based learning for our students. I anticipate that this year at WR we will be investing substantial resources toward creating a STEAM lab that will provide the venue for this exciting curriculum. In adherence with our motto “A Place for Everybody”, we will continue to strengthen our culture of inclusivity, mutual respect, and student empowerment. We will be aligning our efforts with the district’s character education initiati...
