Dear Parents,
Welcome to another great start at Wharton Elementary School. We have many exciting events planned this year. To stay current with the day and night time activities at WES view our school calendar at www.whartonisd.net and click on Campus, Click on WES, and then Click on Calendar. You need to check often because it changes every day. Please be patient with us because sometimes dates change due to glitches that are not our fault! We have little elves that mess with us.
Working together we will have a great year! You may email me at mclark@wharton.isd.tenet.edu or call me at 979-532-6882 during school hours.
It is indeed a pleasure to have your child(ren) on our campus this year.
I heartily invite you to become a member of our school’s “learning team." We invite you to join our PTO and to join our host of volunteers. We are in constant need of parental and community helpers. We have a wonderful and very caring staff who are always grateful for volunteers.
