Dear Wagner Ranch School Community,
 
My name is Eric Acosta-Verprauskus, and I’m incredibly proud to serve as the principal of Wagner Ranch Elementary School. It’s an honor to work alongside our dedicated staff, engaged families, and bright students to continue building a school community that uplifts and empowers every learner.
 
As a principal, I lead with a clear vision: I believe in a school that is welcoming, inclusive, and cooperative, a place where each student learns at high levels and feels safe, seen, and supported. I believe in a school where staff feel appreciated and inspired, and where families are true partners in our work. Most of all, I believe in empowering our students to grow into thoughtful, capable people who will make the world a better place.
 
My mission is grounded in service and collaboration. I strive to support a positive student culture, a strong professional learning community, and continuous improvement through listening and reflection. I value inquiry, collaboration, service, learning, and growth and I believe that joy and gratitude are essential parts of the journey.
 
Wagner Ranch is the kind of school where everyone contributes to the greater good. Our parent community plays a vital role in making this possible, and I thank you for all you do, whether through volunteering, supporting school events, or simply being a present and positive force in your child’s educational journey.
 
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at eacosta-verprauskus@orinda.k12.ca.us if you have questions, ideas, or just want to connect. I look forward to all we will accomplish together.
 
We are Wagner Ranch!
 
In partnership,


Eric Acosta-Verprauskus
