Can’t wait to meet your child’s new teacher?

Come join us for our Cloverdale Open House!

Wander through classrooms, explore our hallways, and soak up the excitement of a new school year. You’ll have the chance to meet your child’s teacher, connect with new friends, and share a warm “hello” with familiar faces from years past.

Just a friendly reminder about online registration and the documents we need from you. Please be sure to complete online registration as soon as possible - all accurate class information is gleaned from this!! If you're new to the Cloverdale family, please remember to provide us with your birth certificates, vaccination records, and proof of residency. For our existing families, a current Proof of Residency document is ONLY needed if you have moved or your student changes campuses, ie: moved to Middle School. This document needs to be a utility bill, tax/mortgage statement, or similar, showing your name and address, tieing you to the property. Thanks for your cooperation!

KG students will have assessments from September 2nd to 4th, with assigned time slots. A separate email has been sent to KG families with a reminder of your chosen assessment time. KG students' first full day of school will be on September 8th, 2025.

We send students to class at 7:42 AM. This provides enough time for students to put away their coats, backpacks, etc. and be in their seat for the bell at 7:50. 

Teachers will line up on the blacktop at 2:15. Please wait for us to send your child out to you.

You can drop off your child at the lower gate starting at 7:30 AM. Just a friendly reminder, please don't drop them off at the upper parking lot or on the road. If the parking lot is full, please use the gravel parking lot across the street. 

Students will line up at the lower parking lot around 2:15. We understand that schedules get busy but we request that collect your child no later than 2:30 PM. Again, if the parking lot is full, please use the gravel parking lot across the street.

If you are dropping off or picking up your child(ren) by car, please stop at the green candlestick cones to do so. A staff member will be there to assist your child in getting in and out of the car efficiently. Students should only exit out the passenger side.

Please consider others in the car line when dropping off children. If you need to exit your vehicle to open a door for a child, please move into a designated parking spot. Do not get out of your car. This will support a smoother flow of traffic for everyone involved. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Please see the map for the flow of traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. This is particularly important given the influx of new families and a new group of kindergarten parents. The map illustrates how we utilize the gravel parking area to alleviate traffic and prevent congestion on Parrish Gap. Please be aware that all cars must use the gravel parking lot regardless of whether they are approaching from the north or south. There are no left hand turns into the lower parking lot (near playground), unless you are parking. 

If your child arrives after 7:50 AM, they must check in at the office for a tardy slip before heading to class.

 If you think you might be running late and arriving after 2:30, just give us a call or send a message on Parent Square, and we'll make sure your child is waiting for you in the office. Thank you for your cooperation! 

We ask that all pedestrians utilize the crosswalk area located in our lower parking lot during drop-off and pick-up times. A sign has been installed to ensure the safety of all pedestrians, including students, parents, and visitors during busy transition times. 

Please communicate your after school plans with Ms. Shelly before the first day of school. It takes a great deal of time to organize this for all our students and our goal is to always get your child home safely and accurately. Your communication is greatly appreciated. sbaughman@cascade.k12.or.us or 503.749.8050 Ext. 5801

Cloverdale has procured supplies for your child at a cost of $50.00. Please reimburse us by the end of the first week of school. You can pay in cash, check (payable to Cascade SD 5), or through the Mealtime app once registration is complete. Students are only required to provide a backpack and wired, over-the-head headphones for K-2nd grade only). If you would like to donate and help support a family (or are a family in need) with school supplies, please let Shelly Baughman know in the main office know as soon as possible. 503.749.8050 Ext. 5801

Breakfast and lunches at Cloverdale are, once again, FREE for the 25 -26 school year. Breakfast and lunch menus can be accessed here at Lunch Menu. Breakfast starts at 7:30 am. Additional entrees must be purchased.

Snacks are sold in the kitchen every day during recess. Options include a granola bar, fudgesicle, or fruit roll-up. If you prefer that your child does not use their MealTime account for snacks, please get in touch with Karen Cave at kcave@cascade.k12.or.us to have their account disabled. And as always, students are welcome to bring their own snacks from home that can be eaten at recess near the blue modular. 

All medication needs to be brought directly to the main office in the original container. This includes cough drops, etc.  If your child uses an inhaler, or EPI pen, please contact our school nurse to create a Health Management Plan. CascadeNurse@cascade.k12.or.us This is required before we can dispense your child's medication.  

Please remember the following information: Daycare is available on late starts and after school until 5:30 pm if you sign up in advance with Jackie Lovell. You can contact her at 541-979-0264 or jklovell7707@gmail.com. Jackie's Day Care operates separately from Cloverdale since it takes place outside of student contact time. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Jackie Lovell directly. Thank you.

On late start days, school begins at 9:50am, and buses pick up 2 hours later than usual. This is a time for staff to engage in professional development in order to support student individual needs. 

If your child will be absent from school, contact the office at 503.749.8050 ext 5801 or send a message to sbaughman@cascade.k12.or.us by 8:00 am on the day of the absence. Please note that unreported absences will trigger an automated call. Doctor's notes are required for 3 or more consecutive absences. 

Students have recess daily. Please keep in mind that Cloverdale students go outside RAIN or SHINE. Please make sure your child has the appropriate clothing for the cold and wet weather. 

We have PE 5 days/week at Cloverdale Elementary. Please be mindful of the appropriate clothing and shoe requirements for students to stay active and safe.  Mrs. Hawkins will teach Monday, Tuesday, and alternate Wednesdays. Mr. Sorensen will teach Thursdays, Fridays, and alternate Wednesdays.

Library books are due on Mondays. This provides enough time for our library assistant to check in books and put them on the shelf in preparation for the next day. Students will check out new books on Tuesdays while having library learning with Mrs. Fiskum. 

Music takes place on Wednesdays at Cloverdale.  We are so excited to have Mr. Ang join us this year! 

We encourage all parents to complete their background checks as soon as possible. Avoid waiting until just before an event or trip. The beginning of the school year tends to be busy, and processing these checks might take some time. Remember that these backchecks are valid for two years and cover all Cascade campuses. Use this  Volunteer Background Check link  to initiate the process. Please do this ASAP!

Cloverdale's annual Jogathon is early this year and will take place on Thursday, September 25th and we are in need of sponsors! If this is something you may be interested in doing, please reach out to our PTO President, Ellie Balencia, at 971-304-8711. This is our biggest fundraiser for the entire school year. Stay tuned for more information!

Our amazing PTO meets on the first Thursday of every month from 6:30–7:30 PM. This year, we’re lucky to have Ellie Kuenzie serving as our PTO president. We truly have a fantastic group of parents, and we’re so grateful for all the ways they support Cloverdale.

Can’t make it to an evening PTO meeting but still want to connect with other Cloverdale parents? Join us for Coffee Connection every third Thursday at 8:30 AM at Storm Coffee in Turner. It’s a relaxed time to enjoy a warm beverage, swap stories, and build friendships with fellow parents.
