COVID-19 Update
Learning Options for Next School Year

Beginning this week, families will receive individualized survey links for each of their students to indicate their learning preferences for next school year. The links will come via email.

Elementary and middle school will be offering fully in-person and fully online options for next school year. High school will be offering fully in-person, fully online or hybrid options for students. Our online options will be different for next school year based on lower numbers of student interest. You can read more about next yearโ€™s options by clicking here.

In order to plan our staffing and programming accurately for next school year, we are asking parents to select their MOST LIKELY option and understand that by next fall their preference may change. Parents will have until the start of next school year to change their studentโ€™s learning platform.

Current Schools/Cohorts on Rolling Remote:
  • Charles Hay 1st Grade Cohort A, returning April 12
  • Cherrelyn 5th Grade Cohort A, returning April 12
State Testing Update for In-Person Students
The State of Colorado was recently granted a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education reducing the number of state tests for students this school year. During the testing window from April 12 - May 14, 2021, Englewood School District will be required to administer certain assessments to all students that attend school in person.
Connect with Board Members
The Englewood Schools Board of Education would like to connect with community stakeholders to ensure the Board is aware of and advocating for the community's wants and needs. Please answer the one-minute poll below to let us know the best way for the Board to connect with you.
Introduction to Restorative Practices
Englewood Schools is excited to offer an opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn more about the basic concepts and theories in the understanding of Restorative Practices (RP) and our use in Englewood Schools that can also be used throughout all aspects of our lives including:

  • The importance of an explicit framework RP
  • Practical ways to implement RP (effective strategies used in Englewood
  • Schools)
  • Social Discipline window (high standard and high support)
  • RP continuum
  • Restorative questions and restorative interventions

Please join us on April 7 and 14 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Zoom. Email marie_leblanc@engschools.net to register.
Mental Health Matters
During these challenging times, we know that parents and caregivers may need some extra mental health support. In this section, we will provide resources that families can access in order to support their mental wellbeing.

After a Tragedy
Adults and caregivers may need support in caring for themselves and talking with children after a tragedy. Englewood Schools has compiled resources to help navigate these situations.
If speaking to someone would help, please reach out. AllHealth Network provides several supports.
