Good Evening Bear Family - It has been an amazing week with your students! I have seen great teaching and learning happening all over the school. I also wanted to take a minute to tell you that last school year, our school Exceeded Growth, and we just found out that we are ranked 145 in the state of NC for our top growth of 6% highest in the state. We are looking forward to doing the same thing this year for our students. We want to keep growing. We accomplished this through hard work of students and staff, but also by being present at school. Here are our upcoming events for this month: Tuesday - BOG Testing for Grade 3 Thursday - Title I/Curriculum Night from 5:30 - 7:00 in the Multipurpose Room. We will share information regarding our Curriculum, as well as district mandates. September 23 - All CandyMan money is due September 25 - Early Release of 1 pm. September 27 - Fall Festival from 6 pm - 8 pm October 7 - Fall Picture Day Please remember that attendance is a district mandated requirement. When you check out your student, they may be missing valuable time in the classroom regarding their learning. Please make all changes to transportation by 2:30 pm every day. It is very hard to find students and switch modes of transportation in our PikMyKid system, late in the afternoon. If you cannot reach the teacher, please call the school before 2:30 pm. Our CandyMan kickoff was Friday. We hope that students brought home their packets and begin selling. All cash money is due by September 23. We do not accept checks. Our SchoolStore fundraiser started this week. This is an ongoing fundraiser for the whole school year. Money raised from these fundraisers help our teachers get supplies that they need, as well as plan celebrations throughout the year. Lastly, a friendly reminder, starting Monday, September 9, 2024, we’ll be introducing a new safety measure at our school, and we wanted to keep you informed. Each week, 10% of our students will be randomly selected to walk through a metal detector or be wanded by a trained staff member. This will include students who ride the bus, carpool, or walk to school. Rest assured, our team will handle this with the utmost care and respect for every student, and we’ll be monitoring the results to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much for your understanding and support as we work together to keep our school safe! We look forward to another great week at Englewood, and as always, Go Bears!

Good afternoon Bear Family! In addition to SchoolStore we launched CandyMan today! The flyer attached will list instructions for CandyMan. CandyMan orders will close on Monday September 23. You can order online or in person. If ordering in person you must pay with cash only,

Good Evening Bear Family - Please remember that tomorrow, Monday, September 2 is a Holiday for Students and Staff due to Labor Day. We look forward to seeing our students on Tuesday. Please remember that Tuesday is Independence Day, and students will walk into the building by themselves. Do not worry, we have plenty of adults to help our students get to breakfast and class. PikMy Kid is an App that we use to dismiss all students, whether car, bus, van, or walkers. We will be sending home an instruction sheet on how you can see when your student is dismissed in the car, bus, van, or walker. You download the app, connect to your child’s account, and put in your child’s number for car pickup. If you do this, we will not have to ask you anything at the car line. If your student is truly a walker, for instance, you live one street over, you may walk to the front of the school to get your student. Please note that the car is finished by 3:20 every day. There is no waiting at all with the PikMyKid system, once it begins to move at 3 pm. Please make sure that you are connected to Rooms in the NCPS App. This will allow you to communicate with your student’s teachers, as well as Administration. In addition, teachers post information about their classes every week on this App. Lastly, we have our CandyMan Kickoff and SchoolStore fundraisers that begin this week. Our CandyMan fundraiser begins Friday through September 23. The SchoolStore fundraiser is through the whole school year. We hope that everyone has a wonderful long weekend! We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday! And as always - Go Bears!

Coming Soon (September 9th) Hello Parents, Be on the lookout for a colorful student lanyard coming home soon! You will find important information about a safe and easy way your family can help our school get the essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed. It will also let you know how your child can win fun prizes just for helping! Thanks, Englewood Elementary School

Good Evening Bear Family - If you have legal documents, such as custody papers, we need copies of these documents. Some of these documents did not come from previous schools. If you have any questions, please contact the school office next week once we return on Tuesday, September 3rd. Thank You!
