Happy Thanksgiving, cherished families! As we head into the long holiday weekend, the White Plains City School District Board of Education, our administrative team and I would like to extend our heartfelt wishes to you and your loved ones for a joyful, healthy and restful Thanksgiving break.

White Plains Soccer Fest 2026 needs a logo -- and you can design it to help celebrate the global impact of World Cup competition and promote the City of White Plains as the central economic and cultural hub of Westchester County! 

Dear WPCSD Families, 

As we get ready for winter, the district will be running a test of our weather delay and closure notification system this Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. 

This is just a test to make sure everyone receives alerts properly. You’ll get a message by phone, text, or email. 

If you don’t receive the test alert, please contact your school office to update your contact information or visit our ParentSquare page on the district website to find out how to update your information or register.  

Thank you for helping us stay prepared for winter weather!
