Keep Up with Grades & Attendance
Lots of information in one place!

Infinite Campus Parent Portal contains information about announcements, grades (for secondary students), attendance, outstanding fees & fines, lunch balance, and a place to update household and contact information.

Click here to access the Portal. To set up access for the first time, you will need a unique activation code from the district's Infinite Campus Support Specialist, Lori Martinez. You can reach her at 303-806-2032 or lori_martinez@engschools.net.

Remember, you can always reach your child's teacher if you have questions by emailing them at "firstname_lastname@engschools.net". Each school also has a staff directory link in their Discover menu that contains contact information by grade, subject or name.
Your Vote Counts - Election 2017
Meet the Candidates!

Englewood Schools has 5 candidates running for 3 open seats. Voters will receive mail-in ballots for the 2017 election in mid-October and will need to return them by November 7, 2017.

Homework Help
Need some ideas for getting kids to do their homework? The National Association of School Psychologists has compiled a guide to help parents problem-solve some homework difficulties.

The guide includes these 4 steps:

Step 1: Find a location in the house where homework will be done.
Step 2: Set up a homework center.
Step 3: Establish a homework time.
Step 4: Establish a homework schedule.

The guide also includes information about incentive systems, to use with kids for whom "good grades" are not a sufficient reward for doing homework.
