District Mission

The mission of Clover Park School District is to ensure each child learns what he or she needs to know to succeed and contribute to the community.

Parent and Community Involvement

Parent and community engagement is key to student success. All parents, family and community members are a vital part of the day-to-day operations of our school. As we connect to support our students, families, and community we are able to watch our students thrive. Our goal is to ensure that we set a climate that provides ample opportunities for the community to engage, participate, and support their children. Some of the ways we do this is through Parent Teacher Association (PTA) activities, volunteer support in the classrooms, volunteer support at home with projects, chaperoning or supporting events, involvement with our leadership teams & after school activities, and special events by grade levels and the school. Each morning we invite parents in to join us at the Morning Opening to start our days with the Kids At Hope pledges and an attitude of success to carry us through our day. We encourage frequent two-way communication with the school including teachers, staff, counselors, administration, and support staff.

School Improvement Plan

1. Meriwether students will accomplish a Student Growth Percentile of 50 based on the median of students at each grade level measured by the STAR (Early Learning and/or Reading) from the Fall to Spring measurements.

2. Family and community understanding of the purpose of student learning and the rigor of assignments will increase from approx. 66% to 75% (as measured by the CEE) by informing parents of the progress of students and the learning expectations of the school.

3. Student belonging at Meriwether will increase from approx. 51% to 70% (as defined by having an adult that cares about them, belonging to the culture of the school, and having a group of friends) as measured by student data
