Kids Need: Food. Water. Shelter. Love. Reading.

Reading is as important to a young child's development as food, water, shelter and love. Helping students develop reading skills sets them up for a lifetime of success.

The Colorado Department of Education has created a website with parent resources to help families prepare students for a successful future by developing reading skills. The website has hands-on activities, how to teach, mobile apps and more.
How Sick is Too Sick?
Wondering if it's OK to send your child to school? The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) has released a COVID-era document detailing when students and staff should stay home from school or work due to symptoms and illnesses, including illnesses that are not COVID-19..

There are four main reasons to keep children and adults at home:

  1. Someone who the child or staff lives with (or has had close contact with) has been diagnosed with COVID-19, or has symptoms of COVID-19.
  2. The child or staff member does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy or will not stop crying.
  3. A child needs more care than the teachers and staff can give while still caring for other children.
  4. The symptom or illness is on the document, and staying home is required.
Health Screening App
To expedite the screening process at schools, Englewood Schools is offering a Health Screening App that families will use to screen students at home before they come to school. The app is available through the rSchoolToday activities app (with a hat icon.)

The video below explains how to use the app.
Optional SAT for 12th Grade Students
High schools will be administering the SAT to 12th grade students on Wednesday 9/23. This is an optional assessment that students can choose to participate in. Please contact your school's counselor for more information.
