Military Families

Welcome to Clover Park School District (CPSD)! We proudly serve students pre-K through 12th grade living on Joint Base Lewis-McChord and in the city of Lakewood. CPSD operates six elementary schools on base, and nearly a third of our students are military dependents.

Relocating to a new base and starting a new school can be stressful. Our goal is to support your family in smoothly transitioning to a new school.


Month of the Military Child

Each April we celebrate the Month of the Military Child and our military-connected children and youth. This year’s theme is “Military Children and Youth: Standing Strong and Proud."

Show your support for our military-connected students by wearing purple, engaging in fun, celebratory activities, expressing your experience with others and sharing encouraging messages.

Purple Up! at CPSD Schools

April 15 - Wear purple and check with your school for activities!
