Hello Sherwood Families,

Sherwood School is proud to celebrate the Month of the Military Child this April. We look forward to honoring our military children and coming together as an entire Sherwood Community. We have many exciting opportunities to celebrate safely. Let's join together as we commemorate the Month of the Military Child at Sherwood School.

Have a wonderful weekend!

We are approaching the time of the year when we begin to consider our student placement for next school year. As has been the practice in years past, student placement will continue to be a collaborative, individualized process. The placement process includes a review of each child's individual learning and social-emotional needs with a team of teachers, including your child's classroom teacher, the specials’ teachers, and resource teachers.

If you feel that extraordinary factors exist, of which the school should be aware, please fill out this form by April 22, 2022. These factors might include your child's special learning needs and social-emotional development. Please do not include teacher requests, as every child’s experience with a teacher is unique.

Beginning on Monday, students will begin taking the IAR test in grades 3-5. Each day students will take either a math test and a reading test in the afternoon. Please have your students get a good night's rest and eat a healthy breakfast to give them the energy and stamina they will need.

We would also like to encourage parents with students in K-2 to have a conversation at home about how to best support their fellow pandas by being mindful when in the halls, lunchroom, bathrooms, etc. Thank you!!
