Colorado's Finest Salon & Spa
April 2021
Hey Friends
We are excited to have our students return to in person learning. Thank you for the tremendous amount of flexibility and patience as we continue to navigate teaching during a pandemic.
Here is what we have been up too.
COS I
Students have finished their haircolor chapter. They had an opportunity to get a certification in Paul Mitchell Gray Coverage, which is an advanced industry training course. As we look toward the end of the school year (can you believe it) the students will enter into the long awaited haircutting chapter. Please help your student find a location at home that will allow them to continue their lessons in the event we are sent on rolling remote. Unfortunately, we are running out of time in the school year and we will not be able to adjust the curriculum.
COS II
Students are finishing up their salon Projects. We are so excited to see what they have come up with. The amount of work and detail that this project entails is somewhat overwhelming but so is owning a business. The students will be moving into Advanced nail technology and in this unit they will be learning acrylic nails, fiberglass and revisiting dip nails. They will also be setting up their accounts for the State of Colorado and PSI (testing proctors) to submit application to test when we are ready. Students will need to know their Social Security Numbers (we do not need the card, just the number), and a STATE issued ID, permit, or Driver's license. If a student does not have any of the required documentation we will not be able to complete the application.
Esthetics
Students are currently working on their practice written exams and will be moving into Mock State boards within the next two weeks. They will also be setting up their accounts for the State of Colorado and PSI (testing proctors) to submit application to test when we are ready. Students will need to know their Social Security Numbers (we do not need the card just the number), and a STATE issued ID, permit, or Driver's license. If a student does not have the required documentation, we will not be able to complete the application.

Winter Weather
Winter Weather Procedures for 2020-2021
If winter weather or other emergency has made it unsafe for students and staff members to report to school/work, Englewood Schools will switch to ROLLING REMOTE LEARNING. Due to the fact that students have devices/learning materials at home and in an effort to maximize instructional minutes for the benefit of our students, schools will not be closed/canceled. Notification about the change to Rolling Remote will occur very early in the morning, normally before 6:00 a.m. Students and staff members will be expected to participate in classes via Zoom, Google Classroom and Seesaw.
In case of an emergency or severe weather conditions, Englewood Schools will announce schedule changes via our website, phone calls, emails, television news outlets, Facebook, and Twitter.
