Welcome
July 21, 2025
Hello Whitehall Families,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. There are still many days ahead of rest, relaxation, and have even more fun family time this summer. I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the 2025-2026 school year. My name is Dr. Cynthia E. Farmer, and I am the Proud Principal of Whitehall Elementary. The assistant principal of Whitehall Elementary is Mr. Brian Cuvo. WE ARE… WHITEHALL!!! And, we are family! Whether you are a new or returning family, I want to let you know that the Whitehall staff cannot wait to see all of our scholars. The staff looks forward to getting to know your child, building a positive relationship with all families, engaging your child in learning, and delivering quality instruction in a caring environment.
We showed academic growth in all areas, and we are so proud of our Whitehall scholars!!!
During this summer, we are preparing for another year of success! We can’t do this without you as an active participant in our school community. We, as a staff, devote our time, effort, and energy to achieve success with each Whitehall scholar. We will focus on being a good citizen within the Whitehall community by caring for each other. We will work with each scholar to be responsible students. We as a staff will work on students making progress in academic areas as well as our creative arts. The work we do at school must be connected to home. So, active parental involvement is necessary for our scholars to succeed. Limit screen time and engage your child in experiences: nature walks, trips to the park, a trip to the museum, play dates, and conversations about school, your child’s hopes, and dreams are just a few suggestions on ways to interact with your child. When we all work collaboratively and intentionally, each of our Whitehall scholars will become problem solvers, critical thinkers, digital learners, and caring citizens of the Whitehall community.
We will continue to build a positive and safe culture. Together, we are a school family.
Thank you in advance for your support as we continue “Educating Children beyond Expectations”. We are the best because…
WE ARE................... WHITEHALL!!
