Dear Wharton Families,

Happy New Year! We're happy to have our students back this week and we appreciate your support in helping us maintain our campus safe. 

As a reminder, Temporary Online Learning (TOL) has reopened for students who have to isolate/quarantine. Make sure to communicate with Nurse Dana about a COVID-19 exposure or positive test result. 

Have a great weekend!

The positivity rate for Harris County is 30.5%. 1000 cases per 100,000. See the Harris County COVID-19 Data Hub.

I have heard of a couple of new testing sites with no wait: 34th and Magnum, 701 Richmond Ave., the former Dancetown USA site on Airline.

Please test your children if they have been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms before they come back to school. Please email me updates and results at dana.bethancourt@houstonisd.org.
