RETURN TO IN PERSON LEARNING UPDATE
Englewood School District has a tentative plan to bring ALL students who have chosen in-person learning back to school for in-person instruction beginning on Monday, January 11. This return date is subject to change based on COVID transmission in the community, but it is the goal we are working toward going into winter break, and it is our sincere hope that we can get students back on this date. The current plan is that Wednesday, January 6, which would have been the first day back for students, will be a learning transition day for teachers, with no student contact on that day to ensure our teachers and staff are ready for students to come back to buildings on January 11. January 7 and 8 will be remote learning days and all students will be expected to attend school virtually these two days.
While it is our greatest hope we can welcome our in-person learners back to classrooms across the district on Monday, January 11, it is not a certainty as we must continue to see numbers with regard to COVID cases improve. Please watch your emails for any changes to the in person return date.
In exploring new metrics to use for our specific schools, the Return Planning Committee has considered that data from our first semester show schools are relatively safe places for students and teachers, and that our safety protocols work to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We understand that in-person learning is important to our students and teachers and it is our goal to offer as much in-person learning as is possible during the next semester of school.
We continue to be grateful for the ways that our staff are stepping up to help students and families. Thank you for all you do!
