Hello my name is Patricia Wagner and I will be your child's teacher, I am very excited to be teaching preschool this school year. I look forward to working collaboratively with you, the amazing preschool team, and fantastic related service providers (SLP/OT/PT) to provide your child with a high quality preschool experience.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I grew up near Youngstown, Ohio. I received my bachelor of science in education and my general education license for grades Pre K-3rd grade from Youngstown State University. After graduating in 2005, I moved to Cleveland and worked for Head Start for 7 years as a teacher and administrator providing intervention and prevention services for under served children and their families. In December 2012, I completed my graduate degree at Cleveland State University, in curriculum and instruction with a licensure as an intervention specialist for grades Pre k-3rd grade. This will be my 13th year teaching for Rocky River City School District.
I have been blessed with a wonderful family. My husband Shane and I have been married for 18 years and we have a delightfully funny little girl named Lucy who just turned 13 in July. Some of the things we enjoy are swimming, kayaking, riding bikes at the metro parks, and snuggling up to watch movies together.
Once again, I am very proud to be apart of your child’s preschool experience this school year. I will work hard to make sure that I am providing differentiated instruction based on assessment data to insure that every child receives individualized learning experiences based on their strengths and areas of need.
I look forward to working with you and your child this school year.

Hi, I'm happy to be returning to Beach School for my second year. I attended The Ohio State University, where I studied English and Political Science. It is an honor and privilege to help your children grow as students both academically and socially.

Hi! I'm so excited for the new school year with our students at Beach! I have lived in Rocky River and Lakewood most of my childhood. I graduated from Cleveland State University and have always loved being able to work with children and support them, as they grow and learn more about themselves and the world around them. I am so grateful to be able to see what our students lean and accomplish, and look forward to every day with them.
