Spring Break March 27-31, 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Spring has finally sprung!!! Wildcats.... we made it to Spring Break! Staff and students are eager to have some rest and relaxation time. We will look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday, April 3, 2023. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we have more sunny and warmer days. Today the window for the IAR closed. The teachers did a fine job prepping and preparing the students. The results and data should indicate growth from all of your child's hard work. The school dance was a big hit. Look for pictures of the Luau in our next newsletter.
Wharton School would love to send a shout out to Ms. Schilsky our Social Worker. On Tuesday it was National Social Workers Day. We appreciate all of the hardwork, time, and commitment that she puts in to support our staff and students.
The month of April will have lots of excitement in the air. We are getting closer to the end and I have seen so much growth in our school. It has been an incredible year. Our student of the month focus will be Courage. We will also recognize Arab American Heritage Month.
Please keep communicating with us so that we can better serve your child. Have a fantastic and safe Spring Break!
