The West Haven School system will open the 2022-23 term on Aug. 29. Parents should check with the different schools to determine when doors open. The bus schedule may be found on pages 7-10. The school system reminds parents:
Student enrollment for the 2022-23 school year is still open for all grades, kindergarten through grade 12. All paperwork must be received before Aug. 29 for a child to attend the first day. If you should need help with the registration process, please email the Registration Team at whregistration@whschools.org. Please visit whschools.org/o/whps/page/registration to access the Registration Page, which includes instructions and a link to register.
The central office for West Haven Public Schools wants to hear families, and is asking parents and guardians complete its new Needs Assessment Survey, which can be found at your school-specific website by going to the Schools dropdown menu at the top right of the home page (whschools.org) and scrolling down to the ‘News’ section. The information gathered from this survey is essential to help officials better address family needs for the new year.
The breakfast and lunch cafeteria menus for August and September are now posted! Please visit whschools.org and click on ‘Menus’ underneath the rotating photos. Menus will also be posted on the district’s new mobile app that can be downloaded on Apple’s App Store and Google Play by searching “West Haven Public Schools CT.”
Parents are reminded the best way to reach teachers is by email! Parents and guardians can find a teacher’s email address by going to the school-specific webpage on whschools.org. From there, click the ‘Menu’ dropdown at the top right of the page and then ‘Staff’ at the top.
Parents should be receiving emails from their principals soon with school-specific information including start times and bus pickup times.
The new whschools.org features a user-friendly, easy-to-navigate calendar of events so that parents, students, faculty and staff, and community members can stay up to date on all district and school-specific events throughout the year. The Events Calendar is located at the bottom of the home page and each school-specific home page. There is a List View and a Calendar View, and users also have the option to download the calendar to their personal calendar. Events are also displayed in an easy-to-read format on the mobile app.
In the event of a school closure, early dismissal, or delayed opening, parents, students, and faculty/staff will receive a call from an administrator. The alert will also be posted on the website (whschools.org), Facebook (@westhavenpublicschoolsct), Twitter (@whschools), and Instagram (@westhavenpublicschools). Additionally, there will be a push notification from the mobile app which users will need to subscribe to. Users have the option to choose which school they want to receive notifications from and have the option to turn off notifications whenever they’d like.
