Dear Parents/Guardians,

With Thanksgiving break just right around the corner, Wharton Staff would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!! We hope that it is filled with lots of love, laughter, friends, and family. There is always something to be thankful for and a reminder of who and what is important to all of us.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on Monday, November 21, 2022. Please make sure you have scheduled an appointment with your child's teacher. The teachers are looking forward to sharing the progress of your child to date. Be sure to visit the PE, ART, and any other related teachers.

Thanks to all of the students and staff who participated in the turkey trot. Our school is very fortunate to participate in such activities that gives back to our wonderful community.

Regular school attendance is essential for students to maximize their learning opportunities. Absences from school may result in serious disruptions of the skills and progress being taught. It is crucial that students and parents make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences. We are noticing a spike in absences due to illnesses and scheduled vacations. Please consider scheduling appointments or vacations outside of our regular school calendar. We understand students who are sick need to stay home. Thanks for understanding and your cooperation.
