Hello Custer Families,
I hope you are doing well during this time of school closure. I'm in daily contact with the Custer staff and can promise you that we are united in this message: We miss "our" kids!
Here is some information that may be useful to you:
Food: We are so proud to be able to offer free meals to all children 18 and younger during this closure! Our buses will stop once daily at 65+ locations throughout Lakewood and JBLM to pass out two meals: lunch for that day, as well as breakfast for the following morning. Kids do not have to be present. The closest stop to Custer is at Hudtloff, M-F at 10:00 AM. See this link for additional stops.
Learning: Every Wednesday, Clover Park School District will provide activities and resources in the form of a student learning packet for K-8 students. They can be accessed online, or picked up at the food buses on Wednesday. The resources are meant for supplemental learning at home. They are not required, will not be used for grading purposes, nor will they need to be submitted when students return to school. These packets are the foundation of our online learning program.
Online learning is new for all of us and we are figuring it out together! We love our students and want to help them learn and grow in a positive and encouraging way. We are here to support you. The Clover Park School District will use Microsoft TEAMS Learning Platform. Teachers will teach in two ways: Synchronous Learning (live, with real time teacher/student interactions) and Asynchronous Learning (assignments, videos, projects posted to TEAMS – teachers and students at the same time).
If you need technical support, or still need a device, the District has people ready to help you if you call 253-583-5110.
Our entire staff remains committed to giving you excellent customer service:
Ms. Juvik, our counselor is still supporting families. Please reach out to her if you need anything: Mjuvik@cloverpark.k12.wa.us
Ms. Loe, our secretary can still help with any office related questions. You can reach her at Cloe@cloverpark.k12.wa.us.
Take care: Please take this time to focus on the health and safety of your family. The Health Department continues to suggest to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, avoid contact with people who are sick, clean and disinfect surfaces, and most importantly, stay home and away from others if you are sick.
We continue to be here for you. I'm always just an email away at kweymill@cloverpark.k12.wa.us.
With warmest regards,
Kathy Weymiller
