From the Middle EMS and ELA

News from the Principal, October 21, 2020

Hello Parents and Families,

Thank you for your participation in Parent-Teacher Conferences. Teachers enjoyed seeing parents on both nights--their schedules were full of great conversations all night. Thank you!


Anytime you need extra support or communication from your students' teachers, please reach out via email. Staff emails are listed on our websites linked below.


We are watching the COVID numbers closely in the community. The district and Tri-County Health Department are in frequent communication about best protocols and regulations.


In the event that we need to go to remote learning (as a cohort, a grade level, or an entire school), our students will follow the rolling remote schedules below.


If at any time you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Student Drop-off/Pick-up

Just a reminder that students can be dropped off in the HS parking lot or the MS parking lot on the WEST side of the building (off Logan). The back parking lot is reserved for the bus loop and other event parking. We cannot have cars entering/exiting the bus loop as it is a safety concern. Thank you!

Health Screening App for Englewood Students

Starting now, parents/students can utilize the rSchools app to log health screen information. This will enable our process in the morning to run a little faster and more smoothly. Follow this link for a video about how to use the rSchools app available on Android and Apple.
