As we close the first semester, I want to pause and recognize the collective effort, perseverance, and growth demonstrated by our Clover Park High School community. This semester reflected hard work from our students, dedication from our staff, and strong partnerships with families. Together, we continue to be, On the Rise.

For our students, the end of a semester is an important moment for reflection. Grades capture progress, but they do not define potential. Learning is ongoing, and every new semester brings fresh opportunities to build upon strengths, address challenges, and set meaningful goals. I encourage students to take pride in their accomplishments and to approach second semester with focus, curiosity, and confidence.

As we begin the new semester, it is also an important time to revisit our PACK Expectations, which guide how we show up for ourselves and one another each day:

• Present: Be engaged—mentally, emotionally, and physically—in learning and school activities.
• Accountable: Take responsibility for actions, choices, and learning.
• Community: Treat others with respect and contribute positively to our school environment.
• Keep Safe: Make decisions that prioritize safety and well-being for all.

These expectations are not just expectations—they are commitments that help create a school culture where everyone feels supported, challenged, and valued.

To our families, thank you for your continued partnership and support. 

To our staff, thank you for your professionalism, care, and unwavering commitment to our students.

 And to our students—your growth, resilience, and voice matter, and we are proud to walk alongside you.

Let’s begin second semester with renewed energy, high expectations, and a shared belief in what we can achieve together.

We are Clover Park. We are On the Rise.

From our PACK to yours,

• Jenny Appel
