Spring Parent Teacher Conferences
IMPORTANT: Conference Sign Ups and Zoom Access
In order to make conference sign ups and Zoom links accessible, we have created a website that houses all the links you need to successfully sign up and attend your Zoom conferences! The website also contains tutorials to support you with your Zoom conference experience. Click the box above to access the website.
Your teacher may have already provided you with a conference sign up link, as well as the Zoom link you will need to access conferences with that teacher. The links on the website are the same as the ones already provided to you. This website simply serves as a centralized location for all sign ups and conference links.
**Secondary students are still required to complete Edgenuity work on 2/24 and 2/25.
Please click the box below to access the conference sign up and Zoom link website:
CMAS Information
As eLearners, this presents a unique situation. CDE has indicated that all students, including eLearners, will need to test in person. That means tests will not be administered virtually. We are currently creating a plan for how that will work while prioritizing safety for all those involved in the testing process. We will keep you updated as we move along in that planning.
For now, it is very important that you review the communication linked below regarding CMAS in Englewood Schools. If you prefer to opt your student out of state-testing, the opt-out link is located in this communication.
Please reach out to Paul Whitaker, Principal, if you have any questions. Thank you!
