CUSD UPDATE
July 21, 2020
"THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON WHAT WE DO IN THE PRESENT."
-Mahatma Gandhi
Message from Superintendent Mueller
Good afternoon,
Coronado Unified School District will open this fall within a distance learning environment.
On Friday afternoon Governor Newsom released clear guidance for districts across California which define conditions needed for a physical return to school in the Fall. These reopening requirements, developed in an abundance of caution to support the health and safety of staff and students, have not been reached in San Diego County.
CUSD has been engaged in planning for multiple placement scenarios: on-campus learning, virtual learning, and hybrid learning. While the Governor’s mandate has narrowed our focus for August, we remain optimistic that our students and families will have the option to physically return when conditions are aligned with public health guidance; we will continue our planning efforts accordingly.
Our site specific Town Hall meetings (see links below) will outline our plans for the start of the school year. Please continue to submit questions and comments. In response to the Governor’s update and AB 77, our draft plans continue to evolve. Feedback and input from our community and the Fall Task Force is critical in this process and will be incorporated into the presentation.
Respectfully,
Karl Mueller
Superintendent

CUSD is excited to announce a new partnership with Champions to provide before and after school childcare and enrichment opportunities beginning this Fall.
Child-development research shows that three important things impact a child’s future success: social-emotional skills, executive-function skills, and opportunities for inquiry-based learning. With almost 30 years of experience, Champions has developed a curriculum that is carefully designed to build on these three areas in a fun and engaging environment. Their daily learning activities highlight group problem-solving, leadership, focus and self-regulation skills, and frequently follow a child’s own interests to spark self-guided learning. We are excited to partner with Champions to provide meaningful opportunities for Every Child, Every Day to feel connected, challenged, and inspired.
Additional information about Champions can be found by following this link.
CUSD Grab-and-Go Meal Service: Will continue each Monday through the end of August!
Grab-and-Go Meal Service at Village Elementary and Silver Strand
When: Every Monday (except Holidays)
Location: Multi-Purpose Rooms at VES (H Street, with the line forming along Green Field on 7th Street) and Silver Strand Elementary
Distribution Time: 11:00AM - 1:00PM (while supplies last)
Our next distribution day will be Monday, 7/27 beginning at 11AM. All families with children 18 and under will be able to pick up free breakfast and lunch meals via curb-side pick-up. Each child will receive one bag that contains 7 days’ worth of meals for breakfast and lunch. Meals may consist of packaged, refrigerated, and/or frozen items (heating instructions will be provided). District and school staff will start "Grab and Go Distribution" of meal bags at 11AM, and will stop once all bags are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
All meals will be distributed curb-side to decrease the risk of exposure. Bags will be placed into automobile trunks-they will not be handed through the vehicle window for the protection of both our staff and vehicle occupants. Only those in cars will be served meals during this pick-up window, no walk-ups or bicycles are allowed in order to maintain social distancing protocols. If you are unable to pick-up meals by car or during the scheduled distribution time, please email Charity.Campbell@coronadousd.net on or before the Friday before pick-up at noon and we will schedule an alternative window to pick-up a meal.
Meals may not be distributed to students. Students who are receiving meals are encouraged to be physically present at the time of pick-up. Additionally, adults may pick up meals for students not present by printing and submitting this form at the time of pick-up. No meals will be distributed to parents/guardians without a child present or a form submitted at time of pick up due to state regulations.
Meals are available for all children aged 18 and under. Children are not required to be students of Coronado Unified School District. Our incredible Child Nutrition Service team members and volunteers have served over 135,880 meals since this program began. We are prepared to serve meals weekly to over 830 children (11,620 meals in total). As demands increase, we will continue to increase the number of meals we prepare in order to accommodate the needs of our entire school community. This is free for all children, regardless of meal status - please spread the word!
