Dear Wharton Families,  

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful holiday season, filled with joy, reflection, and time spent with loved ones. As we begin this new semester, we are excited to see all our students and families ready to embrace new opportunities for growth and learning.

This semester, we encourage our community to focus on the IB Learner Profile attribute of balanced. As we settle back into our routines, let’s work together to find harmony between academics, creativity, physical well-being, and relationships. Take time to discuss with your child how they can approach the new semester with balance in their daily life, both at school and at home.

We are thrilled to continue our journey as an IB PYP school, and we look forward to the incredible experiences and achievements this semester will bring. See you on Tuesday, January 7th!

See you soon!

Just a reminder for the new semester:

Please remember that students have to be fever-free for 24 hours, WITHOUT the help of medication, prior to returning to school. Even a common cold is contagious while having a fever. Please contact Nurse Denise (denise.portell@houstonisd.org) if you have any questions.
