Last Call - Class Placement 2026-2027 - One of the most challenging jobs we have is placing children in classes for the coming school year. We take this task seriously and consider many variables when making each decision. For instance, we consider each child’s personality and how he or she interacts with other students. We also try to establish balanced academic groups, while addressing programmatic needs. In addition, we consider the relative compatibility of the student and teacher. Our goal is to provide the best learning environment possible for your child.
We appreciate your understanding of the importance of this decision. We also hope you understand that complying with parental placement requests makes this process much more difficult and often interferes with the goals and objectives that we have established for individual students in next year’s classes. Therefore, it is district policy not to accept requests for specific teachers.
However, if you wish to share your child’s learning style and educational needs, please do so in writing to the Main Office by Friday, May 1st. Requests to have or not have specific teachers cannot be honored.
You will be able to access your child’s placement for the 2026-2027 school year when the welcoming information is emailed to you in late August. We appreciate your cooperation and contribution in this important process.

Hunterdon Special Child Health Services has shared its 2026 Summer Camp Listing, a valuable resource for families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and/or chronic or acute health conditions. This guide includes a range of day and overnight camp options designed to provide safe, engaging, and inclusive experiences for youth with diverse needs. In addition to camp descriptions, families will find websites, contact information, and resources for additional camp listings, as well as ideas for funding and financial assistance.
We encourage families to explore this resource to identify programs that best match their child’s interests and support needs, and to begin planning early, as many camps have application deadlines or limited enrollment.

New! Drill Notification
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 9:00 AM today. The routine security drill went smoothly.
