Dear Families and Community Members,
At Woodhaven Elementary School , we believe in nurturing a love for exploration, encouraging creativity, and celebrating the unique potential within every child. Our school is more than just a place to learn—it’s a vibrant, supportive community where our youngest learners begin their lifelong journey of discovery and growth.
Student success is at the heart of everything we do—whether it’s academic achievement, social development, or emotional well-being. We are proud to guide and support your children as they take their first steps, or are continuing their journey into a world filled with possibility.
Each day, we are inspired by the curiosity, joy, and determination of our students. It’s a privilege to partner with you in making the Woodhaven experience meaningful, enriching, and truly special.
Learning never stops, and we’re honored to start this journey with your children—helping them grow, thrive, and shine from the very beginning.
Warmly,
Mrs. Donna Hanley, Principal
Miss Jennifer Norato, Assistant Principal
