District-Approved Virtual Learning Option

Clover Park School District provides five full days of in-person learning for grades K-12 in our schools.

The school district is offering a virtual learning option for elementary and secondary students whose families have decided to not send their child back to school for full-time in-person learning. Online learning is considered Alternative Learning Experiences (ALE) instruction and is generally asynchronous or self-paced with some opportunity to connect with teachers. Students are enrolled for a full school year and may return to their resident school the following year.

Each student is assigned a district ALE case manager that monitors progress and communicates with the school and family. Case managers reach out weekly to check in with the student. Families and case managers work together to support student learning.

Virtual Learning Application for the 2022-23 School Year

Clover Park School District will provide a virtual learning program for the 2022-23 school year using the same providers as this school year and the same learning structure (Pearson for grades K-5 and Grad Alliance for grades 6-12).

Virtual school kickoff starts August 15, 2022. Enrollment is limited. Capacity for this program is 530 students at this time. If you do not complete this survey we will not be able to guarantee a spot for your student.

Registration will be on a first come, first served basis. Once enrollment is full, students will be placed on a waiting list.

If you choose for your student to apply for virtual learning, you will be contacted to schedule a required orientation in August.

Learn More About Virtual Learning Options for 2022-23 School Year

The district hosted presentations on virtual learning options for the 2022-23 school year. Recordings of the informational presentations are available on the district YouTube channel for any families interested in virtual learning for next school year.
