New! Drill Noification
Dear WHS Parents/Guardians:
Schools in New Jersey are required to conduct security drills once a month during the school year. The law requires school districts to notify students, staff, and parents when a school security drill is conducted during the school day. Additionally, students and staff are notified at the conclusion of the drill that it was just a drill and that no danger exists.
This email is to notify you that Whitehouse School held a security drill at approximately 10:45a.m. today. The routine security drill went smoothly.
New! Calling All Scientists and Engineers! - The WHS Science Fair will be held on Tuesday, February 25th from 4:00-5:00 pm or 6:00-7:00 pm and is open to all Whitehouse School students in kindergarten through third grade.

5TH Grade Music Field Trip Donation Drive! Let’s do some math… there are 115 band/orchestra/chorus students going to Dorney Park for the High Notes Music Festival in May. If each student asks just *5 people to donate $10 each*, that would more than pay for the cost of the buses for the trip! Please donate here and also share the link with family, friends, local businesses, etc. Thank you
