The Guild
membership and meetings are open to parents of students
Winterberry Parent Guild (WPG) is a parents group with a mission to support the school and its teachers for the betterment of the children attending the school. The WPG comes together to solve problems, promote communications within the Winterberry community as a whole, discuss issues and to help decide where outside financial contributions are best spent. Membership in the Guild is open to all parents and teachers at Winterberry Charter School as well as other such persons interested and accepted by the Guild’s Board of Directors. WPG serves as the school's "hands" within the model of school governance.
Purpose
Support the school and its teachers for the betterment of our students.
The Guild shapes the culture of the school, conducts fundraisers and volunteers to support the school’s programs. The WPG is a separate, not-for-profit incorporated 501c3 entity that coordinates activities with the Winterberry Charter Council and the Faculty Council to complement the school’s mission.
People
The Guid consists of 16 voting members.
Members are made up of parents of students: one class representative per class, one faculty member and six officers. Each primary representative is supported by an alternate, who fills in, attends meetings and votes in the absence of the primary rep. A voting liaison member attends the Winterberry Charter Council (WCC) to offer a report and share important information linking the two parent-run bodies.
Meetings
6-8 pm, first Thursdays of each month
During the school year, WPG meets during odd months in-person in Winterberry's multi-purpose room (MPR), during even months virtually online. Anyone in the school community is welcome to attend as often as desired. Email WPG president to join virtually.
