Communication Updates
In an effort to keep our community informed, we have been notifying parents each time a school or cohort moves to rolling remote because of a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. Based on parent feedback, we will no longer email our entire community when this happens. The letters will be posted publicly and available on our website under COVID-19 Resources and Return Planning, Communication & Updates.
Free Grab & Go Meals
Grab & Go meals are available at every school site for eLearners and students on Rolling Remote. Meals are free through December and include one lunch, one breakfast and one super snack per child. For a complete list of sites and pick up times, click the button below.
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.
Join the Wellness Committee

Healthy students are better prepared to learn and succeed in school; therefore, our district is seeking teachers, staff, parents and students to join the district wellness committee. The wellness committee will focus on developing and advancing the district wellness policy in order to create a healthier school environment focused on improving health and wellness outcomes for schoolchildren and staff. 

The committee meets three times a year. The first meeting will be held via Zoom (link below) on October 8th, 2020 from 3:30pm-4:30pm.

For more information, please visit our website.

Birthday Celebrations Reminder

We want to make sure that students' birthdays are still celebrated and special during this time. Unfortunately, due to health & safety guidelines, outside food for classes won't be accepted this year.

Students may bring in non-food items for their classmates. Or, our Nutrition Services Team offers fun birthday treats or non-food items for the whole class!
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.
