• Whitehall Relocation:
  • On Saturday, October 14^th, the district received information that Open Bible Baptist was no longer a viable option in case remediation at Whitehall would take longer than a week to complete. Relocating Whitehall students to an in-district location was determined to be the best option for continuity of instruction. The district administrators held an emergency meeting today to discuss and finalize an alternate plan for quickly and safely returning our Whitehall students to school. Pending final approval from the Gloucester County Superintendent’s Office, we are prepared to move forward with the plan to move Whitehall Elementary students and staff into areas of Williamstown Middle School.
  • Williamstown Middle School welcomes Whitehall Elementary students to their temporary building location! We know this has been a difficult time for your families and we hope to alleviate your fears and concerns over this move. In order to address this, we have teamed with administrators and staff to select locations within the middle school that best accommodate the Whitehall students during the remediation of their building. Williamstown Middle School has been cleared by TTI Environmental, Inc. and any rooms of concern have been remediated, retested, and cleared for all students and staff to safely return. The WMS/Whitehall faculty and administration has been busy preparing those sections of the middle school to house elementary students. We have strategically selected areas of the middle school where the Whitehall students will be secluded and able to return seamlessly to a full instructional day. We have received donations from faculty, staff, students, and local businesses to provide additional supplies and materials to supplement and enhance instruction for your children.
  • We cannot thank you all enough for your patience and support.
