We believe that schools should provide an environment where students can connect with their teachers and peers and to maximize their learning opportunities. For this reason, it is important for students to be in class and ready to work at the beginning of each period.Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled classes, on time, throughout the school year.

Regular attendance is strongly linked to student academic success and a student’s sense of belonging at school. The Education Act reminds parents and students that students are expected to attend school and be punctual every day. Students are only considered to be excused from attending school if they must be away due to:

• sickness or other unavoidable cause

• the day being recognized as a religious holiday by the religious denomination that the child belongs to

• suspension or expulsion

Attendance and participation in class activities are directly related to success in school and is imperative for learning. W.P. Wagner staff will work with you and your parents/guardians to address attendance patterns should a concern arise, as per the attendance & lates policy.

• Being prepared as a Warrior requires that students be in class on time. 

• It is expected that instruction will begin at the bell that signals the beginning of class, therefore, it is expected that you are prepared in your seat when the bell sounds at the beginning of each period. 

• School staff will work with you and your parents/guardians to address punctuality patterns should a concern arise, as per the attendance and lates policy.

At W.P. Wagner High School, students are expected to dress in a manner that reflects a welcoming respectful, inclusive, safe and healthy learning environment. Our expectations for student attire take into account a student’s right to fairness, dignity and respect, and will not discriminate against students based on race, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socio-economic status, or body type. As examples, clothing items including, but not limited to, durags, turbans, hijabs and burkas are all acceptable and appropriate attire. Hats are also allowed at W.P. Wagner High School.

The W.P. Wagner Online School Store will open soon. 

The possession or consumption of alcohol, tobacco or cannabis is not permitted on Edmonton Public Schools property, including parking lots and sports fields. This applies to, but not limited to, vapes, alcohol, tobacco, tobacco-like products and cannabis (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vaporizers). This will ensure that our buildings and property provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all students and staff. Violators may be subject to fines and school discipline.

To be considered a Grade 11 or 12 W.P. Wagner student, students must be taking at least 50% of their courses at W.P. Wagner School. This means if students are taking a course through Metro, South Alberta High School, Vista Virtual School, or through another institution, these are not considered W.P. Wagner courses. 

Should a student be taking a diploma level course through these institutions, they will not be permitted to write their diploma exam at W.P. Wagner School. Arrangements will need to be made with the institution in which they are registered.

Should a student be taking less than 50% of their courses at W.P. Wagner School: they

• will not be permitted to cross the stage or participate in the W.P. Wagner Commencement Ceremony or other graduation-related celebration.

• will not be eligible for any W.P. Wagner awards. Course marks from other schools will not be considered for W.P. Wagner awards or honour roll.

The tradition of W.P. Wagner Athletics has been to instill key values in our students.  Developing strong character in our students is far more important than the results on the court, field, track, mat, course or in the pool.  The character and values we will be working to instill will not only apply to our athletic programs, but directly into the lives of our students.  Strength, integrity, and excellence are virtues that all W.P. Wagner coaches and athletes will strive to demonstrate at every turn.
