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

Students Inspired by Symphonic Storytelling

Many people standing with Stony Brook mascot thumbnail265961

Who knew that a trip to Stony Brook University to see “Peter and the Wolf’ would result in meeting up with the schools’ athletic mascot Wolfie the Seawolf?

That is just what happened when Wading School’s third and fourth graders set out for composer Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic fairy tale featuring the Staller Center Outreach Ensemble, which includes SBU music department students.

The event was an opportunity to introduce many of the students to symphonic storytelling and classical music.

The Shoreham-Wading River School District and Wading River School students thank Mr. Paul Newland, Outreach Director at the Staller Center For the Arts, for providing this special event for students to experience this beloved children's classic.

Fifth Graders Embrace Quail Tales & More

The young environmentalists at Wading River School welcomed this year’s batch of quail eggs that are incubating in fifth grade and RISE classrooms as students learn about these helpful animals.

In partnership with Brookhaven-based CEED (Center for Environmental Education and Discovery) and Ranger Eric Powers, students learned about quail and other animals including predators. Once the quail eggs hatch, they will be raised for several weeks and released into local woods to help reduce the tick population and replenish native quail. To eliminate the use of pesticides, the project relies on the quail’s natural diet, which includes ticks.
