Panda Prints

Hello Sherwood Families,

Thank you all for another fantastic week at Sherwood!

This week students and staff have been actively participating in our Respect Booster which is designed to support the ongoing implementation of our Panda STARS program. Students are being recognized for showing respect all over the building and we will continue to pay extra close attention next week. We will recognize students who are showing respect by passing out special purple Panda STARS!

We ask that parents and guardians support this endeavor by asking your child(ren) how they are showing respect at Sherwood. The success of this program is directly related to support and enthusiasm that we see from students, staff, and parents. Thank you for supporting Sherwood!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Panda Pride,

Rachel & Kevin

Sherwood School staff is looking for active military parent volunteers to help turn our PE Classes into Boot Camp for all students on Thursday, April 14, 2022. We are looking for assistance between the hours of 8:45-11:15 (Grades 2-5) and 12:00-1:30 pm (Grades K-1).

Contact Joy Skiest 224-765-3838 or jskiest@nssd112.org in you are available to volunteer.

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.

Continuing on Monday (4/11), students will begin taking the IAR test in grades 3-5. 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.

All make-up tests will be completed throughout the week.

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!!
