Panda Prints

Hello Sherwood Families,

Your continued partnership, support, and communication is seen and greatly appreciated! We could not have asked for a better first week back at Sherwood. We ask that students continue to bring water bottles to school to help stay hydrated and cool.

Additionally, in order to keep our students and staff safe we ask that you review the arrival and dismissal maps and procedures below.

What a great start to the year!

Panda Pride,

Rachel & Kevin

Sherwood is excited to announce this new adventure we are taking together. This year, we will focus on 4 areas that can help support our school community:

• Safety
• Teamwork
• Academic Attitude
• Respect
  
• SUCCESS

If we are strong in all 4 areas, we are SUCCESSFUL. We remember these with our acronym STARS. You might hear that one of your children received a STAR for showing success in one of these areas. More will be shared during Open House and classroom newsletters.

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.

With the entire school arriving and dismissing at the same time it is essential that everyone follow our arrival and dismissal procedures. All students and staff must be certified via CrisisGo prior to entry. We greatly appreciate your partnership ensuring the roads are safe for students and staff. Below are general guidelines.

Car Drop Off & Pick Up

• Drop off is at 8:20am.

• Pick up begins at 3:13pm.

  
  

  **For the safety of everyone on campus, all students must load and unload from their vehicles on the designated sidewalk in the west parking lot (see map below). Students are not allowed to get in or out of a car that is on Stratford Rd.**

Walkers

• Parents should greet students near the perimeter sidewalk.

• No dogs allowed on school property per Highland Park City Ordinance.

Bike Riders

• ALL bike racks have been moved near the east playground.

Bus

• All bus riders will have an assigned seat for contact tracing purposes

• Students must wear a face masks on the bus

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.
