Teacher’s name

Mr. Rory Wagner

How do you know the teacher?

He was my son’s teacher halfway thru 4th grade & all of 5th grade.

What does this person teach?

2nd-5th grades - Special Education ERI (Emotional Regulation Integration) Classroom

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

He is able to look past the behaviors or other reasons each student comes to his class & treats every student as an equal & a valuable asset to the classroom. He is able to get into the minds of his students to accentuate their strengths & work with them to improve any areas they struggle with. My son came into his class mid-fourth grade struggling in reading comprehension & lacking in his descriptive & sequential writing. Thanks to Mr. Wagner, he left 5th grade reading at a 7th grade level & writing the most detailed & expressive stories I am beyond proud to have read. Thru his dedication, he opened the door to my son finally reaching his goal of Star Student of the Month!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Mr. Wagner selflessly dedicates every day to motivate & encourage every student to reach their full potential in order to thrive & succeed in every venture they may encounter.
