Scholar and Staff Experience
At the heart of Ashley Park is our commitment to head and heart. During these challenging times, it is very important to support all scholars and staff, regardless of their current health status. Kindness, care and empathy will be at the heart of all our actions as a school community.
CMS Eats at HomeFamilies can preorder meal bundles to be delivered once weekly or for pick up at one of 40 CMS sites. Bundles include five
breakfasts and five lunches. Families will begin receiving meals the week of Sept. 1.
Families will be able to preorder using the district's existing PayPAMS system. Families who are not registered for PayPAMS
can register at https://paypams.com/. Meal bundle deliveries for the week of Sept. 1 must be ordered by Aug. 18 and
order for pick up by Aug. 26.
The program is free for students at Ashley Park.
The meal bundles, which will be prepared by cafeteria staff, will be available for pick up at designated meal sites or
delivered to students' bus stops by transportation. At meal pick up or delivery time, students, parents or guardians must
present their student identification card or provide the student’s name and student ID number.
During the first two weeks of school, Aug. 17-31, students will be provided one free breakfast and one free lunch at 40
grab-and-go meal sites across the district each weekday. The meal sites will be open from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Information about the program and the full list of pick-up sites can be found here.
Blue Cards
Blue cards are part of instructional resources given out today and tomorrow at Ashley Park. Blue cards have unique bar codes for each scholar. The bar codes can be used to pick up food from school sites and/or bus stops.

Updates for virtual learning
● It is our expectation that scholars make every effort to attend live, in-person classes at the scheduled time. (see grade level specific schedules)
● All scholars will learn remotely while we are in Plan C. If we change plans we will provide updated information.
● Scholars will need to be online at given times to report to class and will need to complete work that will be graded by teachers. That is why it is so important for parents to stay involved so that you know when your child should be online doing classwork and keeping up on assignments.
● The work completed by scholars will be graded and count towards grades this year.
● Attendance will be taken each day in each class..● School starts online for all scholars on August 17 th at 9:00 am. The school day
ends at 3:15 pm.
Remote learning●Morning meeting- The virtual school day starts with a grade level morning meeting at 9:00. All scholars
will participate in a morning meeting following the caring schools community program. Caring School Community is a comprehensive, research-based social and emotional learning (SEL) program that builds school-wide community, develops scholars’ social skills and SEL competencies, and enables a transformative stance on discipline. This program promotes positive behavior through direct teaching of responsibility, empathy, and cooperation, creating settings where scholars feel heard, known, and cared for. Scholars become intrinsically motivated to contribute productively to a community they feel invested in, and where they know they matter.
●Classroom instruction-Classroom instruction will begin at 9:45 with a blend of Synchronous (Together) Instruction vs. Asynchronous (Independent) instruction. Each block will be a blend of live instruction (synchronous) with the teacher teaching whole/small group and canvas courses and/or pre-recorded videos (Asynchronous). Grade level schedules with specific times will be given out during the remote drive through pick up dates and times (see below).
●Office Hours- All teachers will have optional virtual office hours available if you need additional support with virtual learning/assignments.
