Family & Community Engagement Plan

WPS 2024-2025 Family & Community Engagement Plan

The Family and Community Engagement Plan is in place because we know that families have a major influence on the learning and academic performance of children.  As a result of this understanding, positive results occur when schools, families, and communities support learning for our students.  You, as family members and stakeholders in your children’s educations, are extremely important to the mission of White Pine School.  Our goal through this document is to make sure that you are as informed as possible in the happenings at our school and the vital role that you play in our students’ success.

We are a school-wide Title I school, which means we receive federal funds to benefit all students due to our demographics. Mrs. Patterson, Instructional Coach, coordinates parent involvement activities such as a Book Character Pumpkin decorating contest in the fall, Supper with Santa in December and a PTO Book Fair night in the spring. Our school also celebrates Read-Across America each March with activities to promote literacy awareness. These activities include Pre-K-8th grades. Our school, in partnership with the Mossy Creek Literacy Council, participates in the “Young Authors” contest for K-8 students each year. Additionally, Pre-K families are invited to an Early Literacy Development Workshop each year to increase knowledge and receive resources to promote literacy development with our youngest learners. Additionally, each fall the ESL department hosts a K-2 Literacy Night for Spanish speaking families.
