Dear Rainier Families,
The 2023 – 2024 school year was amazing! We had a ton of learning, growth, and celebrations over the course of the year. I am so proud of our students for their work and to the staff, families, and community for all they have done to help make Rainier a wonderful place to be.
Over the course of the summer, I hope each of you are taking some time off to be with your families. This summer be sure to encourage your student to READ! Go to the park with a book, visit the library, or read and discuss signs and placards on your trips to keep your student sharp!
If you have not registered your student for the 24 – 25 school year, please go to the link below and do so at your earliest opportunity!
Enrollment - Clover Park School District
Our school is closed July 1 – July 31. Our offices will open back up again on August 1st.
Finally, we have several important dates and events you need to know about to be ready for next school year.
- Kindergarten Round Up – This is an event for our kindergarteners and their families. At this event we will get our kindergarteners into classrooms with staff and start practicing letters, numbers, writing, as well as learn about school procedures, such as how our students get their lunch, how to safely move through our hallways and more. While our students are with our staff, families will be in the gym learning about Clover Park, Rainier and important procedures and systems such as pick up and drop off, attendance support and more. Your student must be registered to participate.

- All-School Meet and Greet – This is an event to allow students and families to get into the school early. You can bring and drop off supplies, meet your teacher and tour the school so that your student is familiar with the location of their classroom, restrooms, pick up and drop off areas, and more. There is no formal presentation, so you may arrive any time during this event.
- Meet and Greet – 4:00 – 5:45 pm on August 26th.
- WAKids Conferences – Every kindergarten family must attend a 1:1 conference with their teacher and student prior to the kindergarten’s first day of school. The teachers will reach out you to schedule or may schedule with you during the All-School Meet and Greet.
