Welcome Back, Timberwolves!

Dear Clover Park Students, Caregivers, and Families,

Welcome to the 2026–27 school year! We are excited to continue building a school community where every student feels seen, supported, challenged, and connected.

This year, we will continue our On the Rise motto and our commitment to our PACK expectations, including:

• Present
• Accountable
• Community-minded
• Keep Safe

Being present is where learning, belonging, and opportunity begin. That is why attendance will be an important focus this year through our Timberwolf HOWL:

Here
On time
We
Learn

Every day. Every class. Every Timberwolf.

Our message to students is simple: Your Presence > Your Absence.

 When students are here and on time, they can learn, strengthen relationships, participate in our community, and make steady progress toward their goals, and be “On the Rise.”

We are also excited to welcome three new members to our administrative team: Ivery Rhodes and Dr. Reby Parsely, assistant principals, and Karina Bauza, dean of students. Each brings valuable experience, a strong commitment to students, and enthusiasm for joining our Timberwolf community.

We look forward to partnering with you throughout the year as we live our PACK values, strengthen our HOWL, and continue our journey of being On the Rise together.

Welcome back, Timberwolves!
