COVID-19 Update
We are excited to announce that 86% of our staff members are reporting that they have been vaccinated for COVID-19! Keeping our staff members safe and healthy is very important, and having a high number of our staff members vaccinated is a vital layer of protection.

As a reminder, families should still keep sick students home from school, this includes students who have ANY symptoms of COVID-19 such as a cough, sore throat, fever, etc. Students who have been exposed to COVID-19, should stay home from school for at least 7 days until they get a negative COVID test result. We have recently seen an increase in our class/cohort quarantines, and our goal is to keep as many students as possible learning in-person. When sick students come to school, it means their cohort has to roll remote and quarantine. If you have questions about whether you should send your child to school, please contact your school’s health assistant during school hours BEFORE sending them. Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy and learning in-person.

Current Englewood Schools parents should have received an email for a questionnaire to indicate their student’s learning preferences for next school year. Englewood Schools will be offering both in-person and online options next school year. Please fill out the questionnaire as soon as possible so we can plan staffing and programming to meet each student’s needs. You can read more about next year’s options here.

Current Schools/Cohorts on Rolling Remote:
  • Charles Hay 1st Grade Cohort A, returning April 12
  • Cherrelyn 5th Grade Cohort A, returning April 12
  • Clayton 4th Grade, returning April 12
  • Salon & Spa Academy, returning April 16

Good News Stories
Preschool Students Learn about Building Structures

The preschoolers at Englewood ECE had lots of questions about the ductwork in the open ceiling of the STEAM lab. Ms. Brittany invited the head custodian, Mr. Rick, to teach the students about the structure of our building. With Mr. Rick, the preschoolers looked at the blueprints of the building, learned to differentiate between the hot and cold water pipes, and were amazed that water traveled so far through our ceiling! Afterward, the preschoolers created their own blueprints of the building based on what they noticed.

Thanks, Mr. Rick, for encouraging our curiosity and teaching us to notice our environment.
