Winter Weather Procedures

If winter weather or other emergency has made it unsafe for students and staff members to report to school/work, Englewood Schools will switch to ROLLING REMOTE LEARNING. Due to the fact that students have devices/learning materials at home and in an effort to maximize instructional minutes for the benefit of our students, schools will not be closed/canceled. Notification about the change to Rolling Remote will occur very early in the morning, normally before 6:00 a.m. Students and staff members will be expected to participate in classes via Zoom, Google Classroom and Seesaw. 

In case of an emergency or severe weather conditions, Englewood Schools will announce schedule changes via our website, phone calls, emails, television news outlets, Facebook, and Twitter. 

Please make sure your contact information is current via Infinite Campus.
Learning Environment Transition Request
Parents/guardians of students in elementary school who would like to switch their student from in-person learning to eLearning or from eLearning to in-person, may do so after conferences. Parents must fill out the form below to request the change by Friday, October 9. Families of students who wish to switch will be contacted regarding a transition conversation/conference on October 14 or 15. The student will begin attending school in the new environment as early as the school and family are able to coordinate, but no later than November 2, 2020. ECE, middle and high school transitions can take place at the end of the semester.
