Panda Prints

Hello Sherwood Families,

In order to celebrate the incredible beginning of the Panda STARS program we will be having a special assembly on Tuesday, September 21st. BMX superstar Matt Wilhelm will be sharing his positive message about empathy, resiliency, and empowerment while performing some of his most exciting stunts.

We are so thankful to our PTO for sponsoring this great event to celebrate our students following the Panda STARS!

Thank you for another amazing week at Sherwood. We cannot wait to see you all next week!

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.

SHINE BRIGHT PANDAS!

Thank you to everyone who is riding their bikes and following our new safety procedures! We would like to move this bike rack so it is closer to the other two along the east playground. If this is your bike we would like to respectfully ask that you take it home next week so we move the bike rack. Thank you!

You can still sign your child up for Shield testing. At this time, per Illinois Department of Public Health, Shield & Passport health will test unvaccinated individuals once a week.

On behalf of the Sherwood staff, e would like to extend a word to gratitude to the Alonso family for your thoughtful dessert trays! Thank you for thinking of us. They were scrumptious and were a perfect way to end the week!

COVID-19 PCR testing is available on school days from 8:00-8:30 AM at the District Office (1936 Green Bay Rd) for District 112 students and staff members. For testing, please drive up to door A7 and remain in your vehicle. Consent forms will be provided at the time of testing. Testing is also being done free of charge for anyone at 102 W. Water St. in Waukegan, IL between 8am - 4pm. Alternative testing locations can be found here https://dph.illinois.gov/testing.

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.

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).

PTO Meeting:

The first Sherwood PTO Meeting of the 2021-2022 school year will be held at Sherwood tomorrow - Friday at 9:15 AM! This meeting will be held outside - Ravinia Style! Bring your own lawn chair or blanket. We look forward to seeing you!

*Please feel free to bring your vaccine card with you. You can pop into the Sherwood office before or after the meeting. This will save you time in the future if you need to enter the school as a volunteer.

Food Days:

We will be adding an extra volunteer slot for Food Days so now we will have four volunteers each day. If you are hoping to volunteer, please take a look at this link- Sherwood Food Days Volunteer Sign Up and book your time to volunteer. If you would like to be added to our Will Call List in case another volunteer has to cancel, please email ally.kirshenbaum@gmail.com.

In order to make Food Days run smoothly we need parents to add their student's assigned seat number to their name on the Lunch Solutions site. You can write it after the child's last name. (ex: John Smith 41) Please email your student's teacher or contact Nataly in the office for seat numbers.

*Please note: We have decided to discontinue offering Dairy Queen for PTO Food Days. If you ordered Dairy Queen for October, your account will reflect the credit. You can apply this credit to future Food Day orders. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding.

Fall Enrichments:

Our Fall enrichment program is starting next week! There is still room to sign up!

Please note that while this program is operated through Innovation Learning, the enrichment programs are led by local vendors including: Pulse Fitness, Chess Scholars, Cheerleading by Amy, The Coder School, Tiffany Shaff Platte Art and The Children’s Theater Company, which has now increased its age range to K-3.
