We have packed quite a bit into this short week!

Our 3rd through 5th grade students wrapped up the ELA state testing this week. Students did an incredible job staying focused and applying all the great instruction they have received this year. We have one more round of state testing with Math coming up later in the month. Additionally, we had our Character Trait Assembly for the month on Monday afternoon! Our Principal for the Day, Micha Lenihan, led the assembly and distributed the April Integrity Awards to all the recipients. Eagle Ambassadors provided great examples of how we can implement the character trait of Self Control in this last month of school and helped us kick off our Archer Glen Food Drive.

Just a reminder that there is no school Thursday or Friday due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. Our Book Fair will be open both Conference days for families to browse and shop. The Book Fair will continue to be open through next week with lots of exciting titles for summer reading!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Kindly,

Sarah

Hello!

My name is Jack Fairman and I'm a Junior at Sherwood High School. I am holding my Eagle Scout Project over the next few weeks. I will be collecting books from around the community to donate to The Children's Book Bank, an organization that will distribute the books to children in need around Oregon.

If you would like to help out, please send your student to school with new or gently used children's picture/chapter books during the week of May 12-16. There will be a donation box in the office. There will also be a box at the Sherwood Public Library if you wish to donate there.

Thank you, and I hope you support my project!

- Jack

It is the time of year where we reach out for parent input regarding student placement for the 25-26 school year. Each spring, placement teams begin the process of developing the next year's class rosters. Placement teams take great care to consider a number of factors that contribute to the success of each child, including social, emotional, and academic factors. Teams also consider factors that lead to balanced classrooms that benefit all students, such as balancing class size, academic strengths and goals, behavioral and work habits. Placement teams include your child's teacher, other grade level teachers, specialists, counselor, principal, and other staff knowledgeable of your child and your child's grade level peers.

Input might include academic, social, and emotional strengths and needs, aspects of the learning environment that benefit your child, and goals you would like to see your child work towards next year. If you would like to provide input to the placement team, please fill out this form by May 12th. Requests for specific teachers are not considered as a part of the placement process.

Starting in May, Sherwood schools will administer the Student Educational Equity Development (SEED) Survey to students in grades 3-11, as required by Oregon law. This survey, from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), gathers student feedback on their educational experiences to help improve support for schools and students statewide. The survey covers topics like academic opportunities, access to resources, and connection to school. It takes 10-20 minutes to complete.

Parents/guardians can decline their student’s participation. Students can also decline to participate by selecting the “I will not take this survey” option at the beginning of the survey, or they can skip any or all individual survey questions. For more information, including the survey in its entirety, please visit the ODE’s SEED Survey website. To access the opt-out form, please see the links below.
