Welcome Back Clover Creek, Hawks!

Clover Creek’s mission is to ensure all students achieve academic and social emotional skills at grade level or higher. We believe that all students are capable of achieving great things; it is our job to inspire and unlock the potential in each student. Our staff is committed to helping your children reach proficiency within their grade level standards
and will be tracking their growth as the year progresses. We look forward to sharing these learning goals and achievements with you!

The first day of school (1 st -5 th grade) is September 6, 2022 and our Kindergartners will start school on September 9, 2022. School starts at 9:20 AM, we’ll open the gates (for parent drop off) and doors (for bus riders) at 9:10AM. Please do not drop off your child prior to our 9:10AM entry time as there will not be supervision available until that time.

Please know that our teachers and support specialists worked very hard to select the best placement for every child. Gender, academic performance, behavioral trends, and
special programs thoughtfully balance our classrooms. Thank you for supporting these important class placement decisions.

We hope you will join us for our open house on September 1, 2022 from 5:30pm- 6:30pm. We will all gather in the cateria/gym for a 15 minute principal’s message before
finding your child(s) classroom at 5:45pm. For the safety and security of our students/staff, only students will be permitted to enter the building during school hours.

Thus, your attendance at our open house will be imperative so you can visit your child’s classroom and know exactly where your child will be spending their day!

We are looking forward to partnering with all of you to make 2022-23 an incredible year! Please know that we are only an email or phone call away and are eager to help in any way we can.

Sincerely,
Sara Olson
Sara Olson, Principal
