Whitehall Elementary School -

Fourth grade students at Whitehall are stepping into the role of system engineers in science. Through hands-on exploration of electrical circuits, they are investigating how and why blackouts occur. This inquiry-based approach allows them to think like real-world problem solvers while deepening their understanding of energy systems.

Congratulations to our winners and a special thank you to the Elmwood Park Zoo.

Hello Parents and Guardians...this is a friendly reminder from one of our school's music teachers, Mr. Patti...students who will be in third or fourth grade beginning in August 2025 can learn to play an instrument. Students who choose to participate in the NASD instrumental music program at Whitehall will have a lesson once a week for 30 to 40 minutes. If you would like your child to learn an instrument next school year, you need to register your child before the end of the school year. Please contact Mr. Patti at his email with any questions. He can be reached at spatti@nasd.k12.pa.us. Thank you
