A Strong Start

 Hello White Pine Families!

I’m so excited to introduce myself as your new K-3 Principal at White Pine Charter School. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to serve our amazing community in various roles, from teaching 1st and 2nd grade to working as the K-12 Vice Principal of Schools. While I’ve loved every part of my journey here, my heart truly belongs to our K-3 students. This is where my passion lies, what I’ve trained for, and where I feel I can make the most difference.

There’s something truly special about early elementary students. These years are filled with wonder and curiosity, and it’s during this time that we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. It’s incredible to watch our young learners discover new things, build friendships, and grow in confidence. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and I’m committed to supporting their growth every step of the way.

As we kick off this school year, we have big goals for both our teachers and students. Our aim is to provide a well-rounded education that not only meets high academic standards but also nurtures each child’s personal growth. Being voted "Best School" for the third year in a row is a testament to our hard work, and we’re excited to keep that momentum going. 

The beginning of the school year is a time of excitement and sometimes a little apprehension for both students and parents. Please know that my door is always open to you. I'm committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and excited about learning. White Pine is a community that thrives on strong relationships, and I'm here to support not only your children but also you as parents. A strong school-home partnership is crucial for the success and well-being of our students.

At White Pine, we believe in the power of a close-knit community, and I'm honored to be a part of it. Together, we'll make this a wonderful and successful year for all our students. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or just to say hello. I look forward to working with you and getting to know each of your amazing children.

Be great!

Ms. Alysa Trust, K-3 Principal
