Monday 31 | Fall Harvest Classroom Parties

Make sure you STOP and REMAIN STOPPED, in school zone crosswalks, as directed by crossing guards. Do not pull through a crosswalk until the crossing guard is safely on the sidewalk.

We look forward to bringing back classroom parties, including the upcoming Fall Harvest Party on Monday, October 31. Each class will have their own plan for how students will be celebrating the season, which will be shared by the classroom teacher.

For the purposes of class parties, any non-staff adult falls under the designation of "volunteer." Volunteers are required to a) complete a background check and b) submit a proof of vaccination or receive approval for a vaccination exception. If you are interested in attending a class party, please submit these items as soon as possible. Processing can take 2+ weeks to complete. More information about volunteer requirements can be found below.

Fall picture day at Archer Glen Elementary will be on Wednesday, Oct. 26th. Picture packets will go home with students on Wednesday, Oct. 12th. Be sure to check your child's backpack. Click on Picture Day Info and Reminders to purchase online and view Picture Day Tips. You can order now and up to four days after picture day.

We recognize the impact that returning to paid school meals this year can have on family budgets, and encourage parents/guardians to complete an eligibility application to determine if your family qualifies for free or reduced meals -- even if your family may not have been eligible under federal guidelines in past years. The Oregon Expanded Income Eligibility Group (EIG) supports families who do not qualify for meal benefits using federal income guidelines. It provides meal benefits to households with incomes above 185%, but not exceeding 300%, of the federal poverty guidelines.

To apply for either Federal or EIG free/reduced meal eligibility, please complete the Online Free and Reduced Meal Application. For more details on income-based eligibility, please click the image below to access the Federal and Oregon Expanded Income Eligibility charts for the 2022-23 school year.

If you have additional questions about school meals or free/reduced eligibility, please contact our Nutrition Services Department at nutrition@sherwood.k12.or.us, or by phone at 503-825-5009.

Reminder: The first early release of the school year is next Wednesday, September 14. Students will be dismissed one hour early @ 1:15 PM. Every Wednesday will be an early release. See the District Calendar for a complete list of early release dates and other important dates.
