There is much said about our school community, its welcoming and caring staff, and the way the school ‘feels’ to visitors. At WHS, we are proud of our school climate, and how we have been able to maintain our sense of identity and our values as a learning community, even in times of great change, and shifting demographics.
It is not uncommon for our school to welcome many new families and students into our community. Making new friends, and helping children to feel comfortable, safe, and valued at WHS are things that we are particularly good at! We want every child to feel as if our school is THEIR school. We welcome families to Woodland Heights from across New Hampshire, and increasingly from states in southern New England.
Over the summer months, in addition to approximately 70 new Kindergarteners we anticipated from Spring registration last year, we added 43 students. Over the Fall (from school opening to the Holiday Break), we added an additional 23 students. Since January 1st, we’ve added another 25 friends to our school community. Over the course of that time, we had some students leave our school, as well. Right now our student population for Grades Kindergarten through Five is at 375 pupils. If you consider that 91 of those students were not with us last year (approximately one quarter of our student enrollment), our staff and continuing students have done (and continue to do) an amazing job helping to acclimate our new students and families, making them our friends, and showing them The Wildcat Way.
Outstanding job, Woodland Heights. Together we continue to make our school great!
