lunch program is provided on all half-days.

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

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 Lakeview Hope Academy Staff has also been planning common lessons within their grade 
level.
