Welcome Back to School! Welcome 2023!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy New Year and Welcome 2023!!!
We hope that all of our families had a peaceful and enjoyable winter break! We are happy to welcome back our students. The first half of the school year went by pretty quickly. Our team is looking forward to the great things that we will do in this 2nd half of the school year.
Next week progress reports will be sent home. We encourage the staff, students, and parents to communicate any upcoming goals and reflections that will promote student success.
Thank you parents for making sure your child is in the building by 7:50. Getting to school can be a hectic time. Please remember that tardies can negatively impact the learning of your child. Your cooperation is appreciated. As always, we thank you so much for being a part of the Wharton Wildcat family.
