The WPPC’s mission is to promote and enrich the quality of education; develop a closer connection between school, home and community, and raise funds for school programs.

Every Parent is automatically a member. There are no fees or dues.

What do we pay for?

Supporting Our Staff

The West Portal Parents Club helped fund eight essential staff positions this year, including:

  • Garden Science Teacher

  • Assistant Principal (partially funded by WPPC)

  • Ms. Bonnie – English Language Development Paraprofessional

These educators — and others supported by WPPC — help ensure that every child at West Portal feels seen, supported, and set up for success.

Creating Beloved Student Experiences

Because of generous donations, we’re able to host joyful, inclusive experiences for every student, including:

  • Pumpkin Patch

  • Read-a-thon

  • Lunar New Year Festival

  • Maker Playground Science Fair

  • and many other community-building events throughout the year

We also help fund:

  • Field trips and classroom supplies

  • Our Chinese Performing Arts Program (CPAP)

  • The annual Spring Musical

  • Staff appreciation events

Above all, these funds help us create a fun, safe, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and belong.

A Century of Community — and Counting

West Portal is a celebration of the families, educators, and community members who have shaped the school for the last 100 years — and those who will carry it forward into the next century.

Thank you for being part of that story.
