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.
