Welcome Back Whittier Students,
We will begin our new school year on Monday, August 24th in Distance Learning. Start time is 7:55. Please be sure to log in a little earlier (7:50) so that you are ready for class. If you were not able to pick up your materials and receive your teacher assignment/Zoom code, please call our school office during business hours at (949) 515-6990 or email Dr. Acuña at sacuña@ nmusd.us. Our first week of school will be modified days and students will have instruction during the morning sessions only. Please see the schedule below. Your child's teacher will be sharing a more detailed class schedule with you to include small group times and any other details about your child's instructional schedule. We are looking forward to a great year of learning.

all about whittier dolphins!
Whittier School is located at 1800 Whittier Avenue within the City of Costa Mesa. Our school serves 560 transitional kindergarten through sixth grade students. In addition, 72 preschool students are served in an on-campus preschool setting. Whittier also offers a Spanish Dual Immersion Program beginning in kindergarten. We have an active parent community participating in PTA and ELAC. We also partner with local community organizations and churches to support our students, parents, and staff.
Whittier staff believes that each child belongs to all of us. We work together to support students in developing as healthy, confident, life-long learners and leaders.
All students at Whittier School will receive continuous support in learning English so they can access the core curriculum and become successful students within a safe environment. They will leave Whittier Elementary School with a solid foundation in reading, writing, mathematics, and citizenship. Our families will understand the important role they serve as a partner in their child's education and how they can work as a team member in helping their child reach his or her full potential.
