Englewood has kicked off our year long SchoolStore fundraiser! The SchoolStore fundraiser is 100% online so there is NO face-to-face selling, handling money, or delivering products. Your participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for the students. Here is all you need to do to participate: 1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000168308 to sign up. 2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child. 3. Have your student wear their lanyard with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize.

Here is our Weekly Parent News for the Week of September 3- 6. https://ncps.edurooms.com/engage/englewood-elementary/newsletters/englewood-parent-weekly-news

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!

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!

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
