Parent Council
Welcome!
The White Pine Middle School Parent Council (WPPC) would like to welcome new and returning families to the 2023/2024 school year. The WPPC continues to work closely with the staff and teachers to find opportunities to enrich the students' experiences while at White Pine Middle School.
The WPPC meets monthly in the Media Center (Library). We hope you can join us! The meeting schedule can be found below.
Programs & Fundraising
Our primary objective as a parent council is to promote parental involvement and provide our school with funds for programs, resources and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every student. To meet this important objective, we usually hold fundraisers. The WPPC uses these funds to expand school and teacher resources, enriching White Pine Middle School students’ educational experiences.
For Teachers & Staff
The White Pine Parent Council shall be empowered to authorize expenditures of up to $300 per department per year, budget permitting.
The following functional departments are eligible for WPPC funding: Science, Mathematics, Individuals & Societies, Language & Literature, Language Acquisition, Industrial Arts, Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Physical & Health Education, and Special Education.
Application details and reimbursement instructions are contained in the application form.
Membership & Volunteers
Membership & Volunteers
All parents or legal guardians with children at White Pine Middle School are members. Each parent or guardian present at a meeting shall have a vote. A nominal donation per family is requested to help to cover cost such as paper, printing, mailing, etc. but feel free to fill out the Membership & Volunteer form even without making a monetary donation.
We also ask parents to get involved by volunteering through the WPPC. Please take the time to fill out the Membership & Volunteer form to let us know of your desired involvement at White Pine. The form and donation may be dropped off at the main office or students may return them to their first core teacher (1st hour for 6th & 7th grades, 3rd hour for 8th grade). We really want parents to get involved and make a difference in their children’s middle school years.
Meetings
Please join us at our September meeting if you are able. Subsequent meetings will be determined by the incoming PC officers. Please check the White Pine Middle School web site, and click on the Parent Council link, to find these dates and to learn more.
If you would like to have a say in how we spend our funds or give input on things we can do for our kids, please join us. Again, welcome. We look forward to meeting you soon.
