The 2022-2023 District Calendar lists three potential instructional days to be restored to the calendar in the event of lost days due to weather or emergency closings. The dates listed on the main calendar are incorrect (the one-page calendar is correct). In the event days need to be restored, the following days will be utilized as follows: May 26th and April 14th. These were the days approved by the Board of Education. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
We have updated our calendar. Based on use and input, we have added a PowerSchool and a calendar button to each district page. As well we have updated the dropdown menus for ease of use. Thanks and have a fantastic day! #RamCulture

Welcome to the #RamFam, Dr. Minicozzi! It appears you are fitting in already. @WHChestnut #RamCulture
Dear West Hempstead School Community,
At yesterday evening's Board of Education meeting, the Board accepted Faith Tripp's resignation as Chestnut Street School's principal. We thank Ms. Tripp for her years of service to our district's students. I know you will join me in wishing Ms. Tripp well in her new endeavor.
The Board of Education has appointed Dr. Lisa Minicozzi as an interim principal, who will begin with the district tomorrow. She is a former K-12 school teacher and K-5 principal. Dr. Minicozzi joins our district with a wealth of educational experience and has served in various roles throughout her career. Most recently, she has served as the Clinical Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education and Program Director for Educational Leadership in the College of Education & Health Studies at Adelphi University.
We welcome Dr. Minicozzi to our great district and look forward to the contributions she will add to our RamCulture!
Sincerely,
Daniel Rehman
Superintendent of Schools

The images do not capture the great work and mental sweat these wonderful students produced. A fabulous writing celebration in @Ms_Elezi class. @wh_secondary #RamCulture
This past Wednesday, the band and cheerleading were invited to Hofstra to demonstrate their excellence and raise funds for their respective programs. They both made wonderful impressions. So much so that the band has been asked to return to Hofstra next Thursday to play with the Hofstra band in a nationally televised game! This is just another shining example of our #RamCulture and #RamPride.
Our annual STEMposium takes place tonight beginning at 7 pm. Come join us! @wh_secondary @whufsdD #RamCulture
