School News and Updates

- Parents, please help us out and have your kids ready to go when pulling up for morning drop-off. It takes much longer when students are still putting on their backpacks, saying their goodbyes, and sitting in the car for a while. Practice getting in and out of the car quickly and safely to keep our line moving.

- Bonneville County has asked that parents do not park in the street in the bike lane and have their students walk to them. If you are picking your child up, please come through the carpool loop. 

- White Pine has 4 open board seats—apply by September 23rd by sending a resume and cover letter to boardclerk@wpcscougars.org. 

- Do you own a business? We have some fun opportunities this September! Sponsor our Walk-A-Thon or join our Homecoming Parade. Email Heather Smith at smithhe@wpcscougars.org
 for details.

- We still have some club openings! Take a look HERE and try something new this year!

Important Reminders

- Carpool Information & Reminders- Help us keep morning drop-off safe and smooth! Please use the carpool line only to drop off students—no parking and walking students to the doors, and no drop-offs at the front of the building. Make sure backpacks, coats, and goodbyes are ready before you enter the line. Keep moving forward as far as you can and follow staff directions to keep the flow going.
