"Together, we can empower every student to thrive in an inclusive learning environment."

CPSD is part of a rich and diverse community in Lakewood and on Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Each student and family we serve comes to us with unique strengths and barriers that affect how they interact with the world around them.

We work to foster the best educational environment for our students to excel by meeting them where they are and educating them in ways that best help them succeed.

Our updated five-year strategic plan takes this to heart. We are focused on preparing students for their futures, creating spaces for student and family voice, and creating supportive learning environments by aggressively addressing opportunity gaps.

We want every student to leave our schools with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve their personal and professional goals. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in our mission to provide the best possible education for our students. As we look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead, I am confident that by working together, we will not only meet but exceed our goals.

Let us continue to build a stronger, more inclusive, and empowering educational environment for our students, where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.
