Eagle Update
Archer Glen Elementary | January 22, 2026
A Message from Principal Woofter
It is hard to believe that we are over halfway through January! Despite the students' wishes, our cold weather has not resulted in any snow (yet) though there is still hope for February :)
We hope to see families join us for our Family Bingo Night tonight! There will be prizes, popcorn, and fun for the whole family. A big thank you to our PAC for organizing this exciting activity for us! Additionally, if your 1st through 5th grade student is interested in participating in our Archer Glen talent show, those applications are due by February 13. Applications have gone home already, but if you need another one, just stop by the front office.
There are a lot of exciting events right around the corner in February! Please make sure to review our Eagle Update weekly to keep on top of the various activities and opportunities both at Archer Glen and within the community.
Kindly,
Sarah

Dental Screenings
Dear Parents/Guardians
On Friday, February 20, 2026, we will be giving a free dental screening to children age seven and younger who do not have a dental certificate on file or have not had a dental screening – this is a service that the Sherwood School District has been providing for many years and meets Oregon mandates. Many of you have already turned in a form to the school to say that your child has been to your family dentist -- if you have done so, your child will not be screened at school. If you want to opt-out of the dental screening for your child, please contact your school office. We will send the dental screening notes home to you in backpack mail in case you need to follow up with your family dentist.
We appreciate our wonderful local dentists who volunteer their time to do the dental screenings. This year the following professionals will be doing the screenings: Dr. Bittner of Bittner Dentistry for Kids
Good dental care contributes to the overall good health of our students! If you have any questions regarding the screening, please call our Health Services at 503-825-5093 or health@sherwood.k12.or.us.

Oregon is committed to preparing every learner with academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school.

Oregon law (ORS 329.479) permits parents and adult students to annually opt-out of Oregon’s statewide assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and/or Mathematics by submitting an annual form. The opt out form will be provided at least 30 days prior to the start of testing. Testing will be in the spring. Specific testing windows will be shared at a later date.

Volunteers
The District will be welcoming volunteers back into our school buildings this year. All volunteers will need to complete and have an approved background check on file prior to volunteering (this must be renewed each school year). The background check process can take 7-10 business days, so please allow sufficient processing time if you are planning to volunteer for a specific event.
HelpCounter Volunteer Information
Our Archer Glen Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is creating an updated email list for school information and other ways to support our school. If you are looking to volunteer at Archer Glen this year, please sign up using the link shared here. If you are new to Archer Glen you will need to create a new login. Past volunteers can use their old sign in. (Please note that this link does not work well on your phone so you will need to use another device).
ALL parents will need to fill out their information again as the system gets updated each fall. The registration will ask some questions about volunteer preferences, please still answer the questions and select all activities you might be interested in learning more about!
You can find out more information about how to sign up for volunteer opportunities at Archer Glen using HelpCounter by visiting Archer Glen PAC's Instagram handle here.
