The Technology Department has begun transitioning our student information system from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus for the 2017/18 school year. As such, a training schedule is being implemented that will go well into the 2017/18 Fall Semester. The process starts with data migrations, then configurations, then trainings. We will continue to use PowerSchool until we are ready to turn on Infinite Campus and begin provisioning accounts in late May and June. If you have questions, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions
(click link). You can also
ask a new question
(click link). You can also find the FAQs linked on the Technology Department webpage at http://www.englewoodschools.net/domain/35. Thank your for your patience as we undertake this complicated change.

The statewide teaching and learning conditions survey (formerly TELL Colorado survey) will be administered again in early 2018. CDE is using this year to build a Colorado-owned instrument. As part of that process, you can provide feedback on what is most important. This is your chance to make sure the survey yields the most relevant and meaningful results possible.
As a reminder, the teaching and learning conditions survey is a statewide questionnaire for all school-based licensed staff (including charter school staff waived from licensing) to share perceptions on their school conditions. It is intended to give schools, districts, researchers and policymakers a way to study and respond to important factors that influence student growth, effective practices and staff mobility. Past results (2011-2015) from the TELL Colorado data are now available on the CDE website at:

The 2nd graders at Clayton performed their living museum project for staff, students, and families on Friday, April 7th. Each student chose a famous person from history that made an impact on the lives we live today. We are very proud of our 2nd graders and the hard work they put into this project!
Celebrating Diversity Art Contest Winner
Isabella Bravo-Versteeg, a 6th grader at Charles Hay World School,
won the Colorado Department of Education's "Celebrating Diversity" art contest through the Office of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education! Her art will be featured on the conference program at the 11th annual Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education Academy on May 3rd. She and her family are invited to attend the awards luncheon where she will receive her award.
Below is her artwork and her explanation of her piece.
The title of my art piece is The Trees of Life
. I was inspired to create my art by my childhood memories of the fig tree in my grandma's yard. She lives in Rosarito, Mexico with my dad. I remember climbing the tree so I could see everything below. It gave me a view of life in the neighborhood. On Saturdays and Sundays there was a wonderful mercado where everyone went to socialize and buy things. There were so many people. Sundays we went with my uncle and his family to the mercado. We would cook out with them at my Grandma's house. It was our family's tradition. It made me appreciate family time. In Colorado, my family does not live close. We are so busy we don't get together as much. My family has different traditions here. My favorite is Christmas because it is the one time everyone gets together and it reminds me of Mexico. It is a time we celebrate God. I appreciate that I have diverse traditions from both sides because it has made my view of the world bigger.
I created my art by thinking about my life in America and my life in Mexico. I put those two together and made the trees of life. I symbolized Mexico by using the Mexican flag on the fig tree. I also added symbols of the the day of the dead. I added sugar skulls and a gravestone to represent the lost. I symbolized America by painting the flag on the other fig tree. I added bright fireworks to show the fourth of July. I was challenged by how to add the flags to the trees. The size, shape, and depth of the flags were difficult to infuse into the trees. I overcame this challenge by going with the flow. I feel like it represents me and diversity in many ways. Being from diverse backgrounds makes me appreciate what I have and all of my opportunities.
