As the second week of this extended school closure comes to an end—and with spring break on the horizon—Central Kitsap School District wanted to take a moment to let you know what’s ahead.
Changes during spring break (March 30 – April 3)
We will be closed for spring break, except for childcare and limited meals. We will serve hot meals Monday through Wednesday next week at our current meal distribution sites. On Wednesday (April 1) we will also be giving each child a bag with meals for Thursday and Friday. Our meal distribution sites will be closed on Thursday (April 2) and Friday (April 3). You can continue to keep your child learning during spring break with our compilation of at-home learning resources.
Does your elementary child need access to a computer?
If you have a child in grades K-5 who does not have access to a computer for at-home learning, we may be able to help. We have a limited number of Chromebooks for use throughout this extended school closure. If you also have a child in grades 6-12 who already has a district Chromebook, we ask that you would please share that device. Request a device for your child.
Teaching and learning update
Although we are in the midst of an extended closure and cannot provide traditional in-person instruction, education must continue. We are excited about the work we are doing to prepare new learning activities for our students. This week, our teachers have been collaborating virtually in teams to create Google Classrooms. After spring break, we will be sharing more information about how we will manage and monitor student learning moving forward.
Class of 2020 update
There are many details to finalize when it comes to our seniors. Our plan is to develop a path forward for every senior to be successful, and we are working toward ensuring all our seniors have what they need to graduate. We will share more information when the state provides that guidance to us.
Next week won’t be the one many of us envisioned. But we hope you are able to find some time to relax and have some fun with your family. We will continue working behind the scenes on behalf of our students and will keep you informed by email, on our website and on social media. Have a safe spring break!

March 13, 2020 update from CKschools.org
Central Kitsap School District has been closely monitoring updates and best practices regarding community spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout our state and nation. The situation is constantly changing, and it has become clear that school districts across Kitsap County cannot continue to operate.
Beginning Monday, March 16, all CK schools will be closed to students through at least Friday, April 24. We have asked staff to talk with students about this closure, and to ensure they bring home all necessary personal belongings.
We know this decision will have an enormous impact on our students, staff, families and community. Our schools are so much more than just a place to learn. Although educating students is our primary mission, we also provide critical services and support to numerous families in our area. We are working on plans to serve our students and families during this closure. This will include:
All CK Schools staff will report to work on Monday to continue our planning efforts.
We know this is a difficult time. The next few weeks will pose challenges. But we are so proud of the way our staff and community have come together to face this public health crisis. Please be patient with us during this challenging time as we work to provide answers to your questions. We will continue to keep in touch with additional information and guidance.
