Seeking Parent/Guardian Feedback on our Local Wellness Program Policy
The Sherwood School District is seeking parent/guardian feedback on our Local Wellness Program policy, which can be found on our website here (Board Policy EFA-AR). All feedback collected will be shared with our Wellness Committee this spring, who will assess the implementation and progress of the Local Wellness Program and provide a progress report at a future Board of Directors meeting, as well on our District website for public review.
If you would like to provide feedback on the policy, please complete the form using the link below. All feedback is anonymous.
Education Levy Town Hall Meetings

Please join us to ask questions and learn more about the proposed levy.
Mileage Club
We are excited to offer Mileage Club to our students this year! Mileage Club is a running/walking club that will take place during lunch recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays (weather permitting) during the month of May. Students are given the optional opportunity to participate by running or walking laps and are able to win fun toe tokens based on how many laps they run.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!! Volunteering for Mileage Club is fun and easy. Volunteers will either be hole punching student's run cards when they finish each lap or standing along the course to ensure student's safety. You are welcome to bring younger siblings with you for this as well. Sign up here for as many or few dates as you are available!
Middleton Carnival
Our carnival is coming up and we need YOU! Stop by one, or both, of our event planning parties to help with projects for this fun event!
Wednesday 4/26 5:00-7:00
Thursday 4/27 3:00-6:00
We are meeting in Middleton Room 26. Feel free to come for the whole time, or just stop by when you can!
Multicultural Night
NAMI Community Presentation
The SHARE Center is happy to partner with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) to host a morning of mental health education, support, and resources for parents of school-age youth.
Join us at the District Office on April 22nd at 9am-1pm for a day of learning and community with NAMI. NAMI has presented in neighboring school districts and is a non-profit organization that works to educate the community on Mental Health awareness.
Emergency Drills (April 24-May 5)
All schools in our District will be participating in emergency drills April 24 - May 5. Middleton will be participating in a Secure drill. These drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific protocols that would occur in an emergency situation. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near campus during a lockdown drill, as SPD officers do participate in these drills.
During a Secure drill, students are brought inside the school building and exterior building doors are locked, while students and staff may continue to use hallways or other common areas. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the building until the drill has been completed.
For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here
Middleton Attendance Emails
Character Trait of the Month: Generosity
The Character Trait of April is Generosity! Generosity is the quality of being kind and generous. “Generosity is what keeps the things we own from owning us.” ~Anonymous. Generosity isn’t about what you have to give, it’s what have left, your availability to serve others. Let’s teach our kids to be generous, kids often think they have nothing to give, we can show them otherwise! If you need ideas for your child let PAC Volunteer coordinator Melissa Horton know @ middletonpacboard@gmail.com
