Principal’s News

March 2026
Cougar Families,

Statewide Assessments known as CAASPP will be given at Clear Creek the second week of May. The CAASPP English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics test is administered to students in grades 3-8. It is a computer-based assessment that provides more accurate results than traditional paper-based assessments. At the elementary level, students in grades 3-8 will take the ELA and Math summative assessments. Students in grade 5 and 8 will also take the Science-CAST test. There are two parts to the ELA and math assessments:

Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) capitalizes on precision and efficiency, adjusting the difficulty of questions for a more accurate measurement of the student’s ability.
The Performance Task (PT) is used to measure capacities such as depth of understanding, research skills, and complex analysis, which cannot be adequately assessed using other item types.
The staff and students are preparing to take the CAASPP and we ask that you encourage your students to take them seriously and do their best.

Our Boys’ Basketball team finished the season. Super proud of our young men and their play this season. Next up is our girls’ volleyball team as they begin their season this month. Please look at the attached schedule and come out and cheer on our team!

Please join us on Friday, 3/13 @ 8:45 am at our next All-School Rally, all families are encouraged to come celebrate with us. Come for Cougar Cafe, stay for the Rally!

PTC: Cougar Coffee is every Friday Morning starting at 8 am. Come get a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, and of course a donut. Without the support of our PTC events, these would not be possible. If you are not currently active with our PTC, I want to encourage you to come to the next meeting and get involved. Our next meeting is on March 18th at 3:00 PM and all are invited.

Home – School Communication: Good communication between the school and home is very important to us and we are working to provide numerous ways for this good communication to take place. Please call the school office when your child is sick and cannot attend school. Please remember to update the office if your phone number or email address changes so that you continue to receive communication from the school.

Don’t Forget Spring Breaks starts Friday 4/3/26 through Monday 4/10/26, enjoy this time with your family!

Happy Spring,

Duane Triplett
