He said about 50 teachers&nbsp;called in to take part in the high school\u2019s #SummitStrong video message. For more than four minutes, the video shows the dozens of staff members who connected with Koslovsky and held up a hand-written sign to share with the Summit High community, namely students.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from losing the instructional and social element of in-person school since mid-March, Koslovsky said he and fellow teachers and administrators wanted to do the heartwarming video to remind the student community of their strength in the wake of two student deaths by suicide in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are struggling, you get a look at everybody again and see you are loved, you are strong and you are not alone,\u201d Koslovsky said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For nearly two months leading up to this week\u2019s national Teachers Appreciation Week, teachers and staff members across the Summit School District have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help students and their families navigate the difficulties of the unprecedented COVID-19 shutdown and resulting at-home schooling.<\/p>\n<p>In the classroom, instructors like high school art teacher Karen Fischer and her students have wowed their peers with a digital art project showcasing students\u2019 work in a virtual-reality tour of a museum.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the classroom, social studies teacher Laura Ryer has gone out of her way to call students to check in while choir, piano and drama teacher Caroline Hesford hand wrote 120 postcards that she mailed to students. And over at Dillon Valley Elementary School, instructors like first-grade teacher Beatriz Munoz have reached out to internet service providers to get internet connection into the homes of families who did not have the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Ryer, Hesford and Munoz are just three examples of teachers across the county who have prioritized connection, compassion and creativity over hard-and-fast grades and deadlines during the district\u2019s self-described \u201cdismissal\u201d period, during which all staff, students and teachers have interacted remotely.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div class=\"caption-container\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-382892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Teacher-SDN-050920-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/p><figcaption><strong>A sign showing appreciation to the teachers at Silverthorne Elementary School is attached to a fence Wednesday, May 6. Summit School District has dismissed all in-person learning for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, so teachers have continued teaching through the use of web-based video conference platforms.<\/strong><br \/><em>Jason Connolly \/ <a href=\"mailto:jconnolly@summitdaily.com\">jconnolly@summitdaily.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>At Dillon Valley Elementary, Munoz works with her English-teaching counterpart with young students learning in Spanish one week and undertaking instruction in English the next. But the actual teaching, such as her lessons on moon phases, has given way to spending time on such things as donating leftover tomatoes to children\u2019s families to make pizzas together at home or helping with the weekday food pickup in the elementary school parking lot, which Munoz said feeds more than 100 people breakfast and lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, Munoz did not share her personal cellphone number with families. But now, she\u2019s found herself chatting with parents in dire straights \u2014 some months removed from moving here from Nicaragua or Colombia, living one family to a room in an apartment \u2014 trying to figure out how to navigate the situation after challenges like losing their source of income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to contact 50 families and make sure everyone is OK,\u201d Munoz said.<\/p>\n<p>Ryer understands these sudden stressors on families. She has students who are working 40-hour weeks at Walmart and City Market \u2014 or helping with family businesses for no compensation \u2014 to help their families make ends meet. The history, psychology and sociology instructor works with mainly Summit High seniors, including those in advanced courses like Colorado Mountain College classes. She is an instructor who typically has high expectations of her students. But now, she said, it\u2019s the students who are the glue that are keeping the school community together. She\u2019s focused on compassion and doing whatever she can to help students have their typical \u201cemotional feedback loop.\u201d That includes having her students call or video conference her at their leisure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs teachers, we are always leading with, \u2018How are you feeling? How has your week been? How are things at home?\u2019\u201d Ryer said. \u201cWe end up talking more about the emotional side of things than a lesson or any particular content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hesford poured five days into writing the 120 postcards \u2014 including many she had to translate into Spanish \u2014 for her students. It took her 24 hours just to address them. In a testament to the Summit County community, she put out a message on the Facebook group \u201cSummit County Moms\u201d for an idea of how to get so many postcards and Ash Noelle, owner of Sunnyside Up Studio in Frisco, came to the rescue, providing the postcards for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI write funny jokes on them,\u201d Hesford said. \u201cFor choir kids, choir jokes; piano kids, piano jokes. That special touch to remind them again that there is someone out here that cares about you. One of the skills we teach our students is perseverance. And, boy have they persevered.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"swift-gallery p402_hide\" readability=\"6.9351389878831\">\n<ul id=\"imageGallery-382986-937\" class=\"gallery list-unstyled
