Panda Prints

Hello Sherwood Families,

We are wrapping up another fantastic week. Thank you for your continued support as we work to ensure students can safely be at school! Our new lunch procedures are running smoothly and we are excited for the return of PTO lunches starting on Wednesday, September 8th.

Enjoy this extended weekend with family and friends, and Shanah Tovah to those who observe.

Panda Pride,

Rachel & Kevin

Each week we will be pulling 10 Panda STARS to recognize some of our amazing pandas! These pandas are in the photo above.

Thank you so much to our amazing PTO for stocking the teachers lounge with sweet and salty snacks! We are so lucky to have such wonderful support from our Sherwood parents. Thank you!

After school enrichment opportunities are here! The Sherwood PTO will be utilizing Innovation Learning for after school programing this year.

For more information please click on this link.

Please remember to submit your CrisisGo self certification prior to each visit in order to enter the building.

At the moment, we also need to verify your COVID Vaccination Card. It would be appreciated if you could show it to Mrs. Nataly Garcia (Secretary) at your earliest convenience. You will only need to show your card once. Once it is verified, you are all set to volunteer at Sherwood.

As Dr. Colin shared in her update yesterday, COVID-19 saliva testing will start next week. At this time, per Illinois Department of Public Health, Shield & Passport health will test unvaccinated individuals once a week.

Sherwood students will be testing regularly on Thursday mornings. Due to the short week we will begin our SHIELD testing on Friday, September 10th from 9:00-11:45am.

You can read more detailed Shield testing information HERE.

In order to increase the efficiency of our dismissal procedures we are asking families to display a sign in their front windshield with their child(ren)'s name(s). We would greatly appreciate seeing many on Monday!

Mrs. Skiest passed out many signs today. If you didn't not receive one please see this link to print a copy from home or ask for one next time you are in the car line.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we strive to improve our procedures.

Beginning on Monday, August 30th, students will be sitting at tables 6ft apart in the gym and multipurpose room. So that we can accommodate social distancing, we have added an additional lunch period. Please review our new lunch/recess schedule:

Kindergarten & 1st Grade

• @11:00am LUNCH
• @11:25am RECESS

2nd & 3rd Grade

• @11:50am LUNCH
• @12:15pm RECESS

4th & 5th Grade

• @11:50am RECESS
• @12:15am LUNCH

The FUNd Run is scheduled for Saturday, October 2 at Ravinia Festival. We are excited to offer two options to participate in 2021:

1. Runners and walkers can register for the IN-PERSON 5K Run or 1-Mile Family Walk on Saturday, October 2 at Ravinia Festival.
2. Runners and walkers can register to participate in a virtual 5K or 1-Mile Family Walk. This option allows participants to complete the event on their own schedule and on a course of their choice (Oct. 2/Oct. 3).

If there is a change of plans regarding how a student is getting home please email your student's teacher and Sherwood's administrative assistant Nataly Garcia (ngarciacampos@nssd112.org). If a change occurs after 12pm please call the office so we can ensure the message makes it to your child and their teacher.

Each day parents are required to self certify that their child has no symptoms of COVID-19 and has not been exposed to anyone with symptoms. You will receive an email from Crisis Go every morning at 6:00 a.m. Click on the link in the email to complete the self certification process. You must record your child’s temperature and answer all of the questions. Parents must complete the self certification process by 8:00 a.m. each day for all students.

The system will only email the primary contact for certification. If you need to change that contact, please submit a technology support ticket.

Administrators and staff will have access to a list of students who have not self certified. Students who do not complete the self certification process will not be admitted into the building. Thank you for your cooperation on this important safety matter.
