Welcome to Wading River's Home on the Web.  This year offers our students a historic and wonderful adventure, filled with rich learning experiences. There is so much to highlight, from learning about how caterpillars transform into butterflies to making new discoveries every day by unlocking the mysteries of reading, mathematical reasoning, and scientific exploration; our youngsters grow so much. All the while, they will write and publish stories, learning how to articulate and expand their thoughts, ideas, and insights with the world.

I appreciate all the time, effort and sharing the teachers, parents, community and students have given to make Wading River such a warm place to learn. A special thank you to our PTA for their generosity in the many ways they volunteer their time and talents for our students.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the teaching and learning at Wading River School. I wish you and your family a year filled with new experiences, family, friends, and learning opportunities that will be used as a springboard for success throughout your child's lifetime.

For those stopping by for a virtual visit of our school, if you have any questions or wish to have an in-person tour arranged, feel free to contact me at your convenience so you may see firsthand some of the exemplary work our students, teachers and staff engage in each day.

Sincerely,
Louis P. Parrinello
Principal

Summer Reading Resources

Dear Families,

As summer begins, we are excited to share helpful and fun resources from all four schools to keep your child reading all season long! Developing strong reading habits early is key to lifelong learning, and summer is the perfect time to nurture a love for books.

Research shows that children who don’t read over the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress. In fact, a study by the National Summer Learning Association highlights that consistent reading during the summer helps prevent the “summer slide” and supports continued academic growth, especially in early readers.

Here are a variety of engaging book suggestions, online tools and local library programs that will help keep your child excited about reading throughout the break!

We hope you’ll explore these resources together and make reading a fun part of your summer routine.

Happy Reading!

Warm regards,

Nicole Waldbauer
Director of Humanities
Shoreham-Wading River Central School District

Set goals and reach for the stars, students!
