Celebrations

CPHS has been recognized by Association of Washington School Leaders (AWSL) and Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP) for a Culture Kickoff Award.  To receive this award, we needed to show that we had a strong theme and vibrant kickoff to the year that included an opening assembly.  We had to provide evidence that we are intentionally planning for a positive year and had plans to sustain this throughout the year.  We are so proud of the student groups, staff members, and community partners who helped make this award possible. CPHS is truly Happy and Proud!

Late Night at the YMCA

Need something fun to do over winter break?

CPSD is collaborating with the Lakewood Family YMCA and The Break to offer a FREE two-day event for all students in grades 6-12.

Late Nite Meets the Break will be held at Harrison Prep on Dec. 27 for middle schoolers and Dec. 28 for high schoolers. This will be a positive and safe environment for students to engage in fun activities with friends and maintain their mental wellness.

Late Nite Meets the Break will feature free food, guest speakers and fun activities, like a mobile video game truck! Students will also be able to access all Lakewood Family YMCA facilities for free during the two-day event. Register today!

Take Advantage of Winter Break

After returning from Winter Break, students will have 3 weeks until the end of the First Semester. Winter Break is a great time for students and families to review student’s grades to celebrate achievements and create a plan to improve before the end of the semester. As a reminder, semester grades determine if students receive credit for a course and are posted on their final high school transcript.

Additionally, Winter Break is a great time to review the Clover Park High School course catalogue and begin thinking of classes students are interested in for next year. Course registration for the 25-26 school year will start in the Spring. CPHS Course Catalogue

Contacting CPHS Teachers

You can email a teacher directly using our staff directory located on the CPHS Website. You can also find your student’s teachers’ emails through the Skyward Family Access by opening your student’s gradebook, clicking on the class, then clicking on the teacher’s name. This will provide you their email address to contact them directly. For any questions on contacting a teacher, please call the main office at 253-583-5500.

Senior Information

  • The Clover Park High School Website now has a Senior Page with information regarding Graduation, Graduation Requirements, Scholarships and College Readiness, and more. Visit the website here to check it out.
  • FASFA/WAFSA is now OPEN! The Washington Student Achievement Council and Washington State Office of Equity are among the state agencies trying to help seniors and their families access financial aid towards college or career training. The Washington State Office of Equity will host a financial aid webinar on Wednesday, Dec. 11. Washington state leads the nation in need-based financial aid. Nearly half of all Washington families qualify for aid through the generous Washington College Grant. That money can be used for four-year and two-year institutions, registered apprenticeships, technical college and more. Beyond tuition, it can also help pay for books and materials, and more. Make sure you take advantage of the federal assistance programs available to help you and your student pay for higher education. Begin your journey by filling out a FAFSA form today. CPHS will also host a Financial Aid night on December 17th to support Seniors and their Families in completing the FASFA forms. 

Inclement Weather Procedures

Temperatures are cooling and a chill is in the air. Washington weather is difficult to predict, so it is important for families to keep Clover Park High School’s inclement weather procedures in mind in case of a school delay or closure.

In the event of a school delay or closure, you will be notified via telephone and email using the school district’s notification system. Local television media may also share this information, but it is important to look for Clover Park School District, not Lakewood School District.

Winter Sports

As Winter Sports and activities are starting, we want to remind all students, families and community members of the importance of demonstrating civility, sportsmanship, and accountability at all school events. When attending any school events such as sports competitions, music, arts and drama performances, or even back to school nights, we encourage you to help us make our schools safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces for everyone.

Here are a few expectations that will help make our school events great places to be:

  • Be a positive role model by displaying civility and good sportsmanship conduct.
  • Show respect and concern for any student regardless of school affiliation.
  • Respect the decisions of officials, coaches and school staff.
  • Cheer and support students and staff in positive ways.
  • Remain in designated areas at all times. For example, only participating players, coaches and officials should be on the field of play.
  • Review CPSD policies and procedures on the use and possession of tobacco (products/vaping), alcohol and drugs and/or paraphernalia.
  • Know, follow and understand the posted code of conduct at any event you attend.   

We appreciate your partnership is supporting your student’s participation in CPHS events. Please contact us with any questions.

Skyward Tip of the Month

Keep Your Contact Information Updated 

It is important that families and staff members keep their contact information updated in case of inclement weather or emergencies. Families can update their information in Skyward Family Access or contact their student’s school to verify contact information. We are experiencing issues bypassing restrictions from certain cell phone carriers to deliver our emergency messaging through SchoolMessenger. We encourage all families to sign up for Flash Alerts to receive the most up-to-date school delay and closure notifications
