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

“Wait… we were learning?” asked fourth grader Owen McCarthy when he and his classmates finished a Thanksgiving-themed Breakout EDU.

Owen, a student in Kerryann DeMauro’s class, was just one of the fascinated adventure-seekers working in the collaborative project to test and strengthen their problem-solving skills in the game-based learning platform.

Students solved math problems, deciphered a hidden word, determined latitude and longitude and filled in a crossword puzzle to solve codes for various locks.

The students were guided by Eastern Suffolk BOCES Models School Coach Carrie McGuire and Library Media Specialist Brittany LaValle in the dynamic and immersive learning activity.
