Jill Wagner

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Jill Wagner, teacher of English Language Learners (ELLs) in grades 3-5 at Sumner Elementary. I love working with, supporting and learning from students who speak other languages and come from around the world!

Here at Sumner, I help students build proficiency in English so they can develop the social, academic and content language skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. I am also here as a resource for Sumner staff who work with English learners. We're going to have a great year together!

Our English Language Learners are SOARING together to SUCCESS!

We've got SEAHAWK Pride!
