School Closure
Clover Park School District is a member of the Public School Emergency
Communications Systems (PSECS). If school is to be canceled or the opening
delayed due to snow or other emergency, an announcement will be made over
several local television stations. In emergency situations, we may need to
close school during the day; however, if it is safer to keep students at
school than to send them home, they will be kept at school under supervision.
The following is a listing of 2008-09 PSECS participating radio and
television stations:
TV Stations: KOMO TV KIRO TV KING TV KCPQ TV

Listen for announcements about Clover Park School District No. 400.
Announcements are for one day only. If announcements about Clover Park
School District are not broadcast, schools are open and operating on a
regular schedule. Any announcements about “Lakewood Schools” should be
ignored. Lakewood School District is a small district north of Everett.
Half Days
What do teachers do on half days? This is a question that probably crossed
your mind more than a few times this year.
The half days were put into place to allow teachers time for collaborative
planning. This has become a very valuable tool for teachers as they work to
improve instruction for students and prepare them for alignment across the
grade level and school.
All of the grades have sat as groups and looked at the Essential Learnings
and compared them to what we are teaching. The Essential Learnings are the
lists of skills and information that the state of Washington says students
need to have at their grade level. Doing this as a group allows the teachers
to be sure that the entire grade level is focused on the essentials.
Teachers have also been developing Essential Questions for their lessons and
units. These Essential Questions help keep lessons focused on the goal and
move students to advance in their higher level thinking skills.
The Oakwood Staff has also been planning common lessons within their grade
level.
