As you know, last week we lost four school days due to inclement weather. However, our district will only need to make up one inclement weather day. Please note that this makeup day will occur on Monday, February 19 (Presidents’ Day), which had already been identified on the 2023-2024 academic calendar as one of our inclement weather makeup days. This means that February 19 will be a regular school day.

Additionally, we will need to adjust the length of the 2nd trimester to rebalance the trimesters for the year. The 2nd (current) trimester will now end on Thursday, March 14, and the teacher work day (no school day) will move from Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 15. This means that March 11 will be a regular school day, and March 15 will be a no school day.

While we know any changes to the school calendar can be frustrating, these adjustments will allow our district to meet our state requirements for instructional time, as well as ensure that students are able to complete all 2nd trimester learning objectives without loss of content due to the impacts on last week’s schedule.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in the education of your children.

The lunch menu for February has been updated to reflect the weather makeup day on February 19. To view or print the updated menu, please click the link below.

All Sherwood schools will be participating in our second round of lockdown drills for this school year January 29 - February 9. Lockdown drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific actions that would occur in an emergency situation. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department to continue improving our safety plans. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near our campus during a lockdown drill, as our SROs do participate in checking our building security during the drill.

During drills, staff and students are secured within their individual classrooms/offices, and there is no movement in the building. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the campus until the drill has been completed.

For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here.

Heads up families! Archer Glen will be celebrating Staff Appreciation Week from Feb.5th-Feb. 9th.

Throughout the month of February, local dentist Dr. JJ Bittner of Bittner Dentistry for Kids will be giving free dental screenings at each elementary school. Dental screenings at Archer Glen will be held on Friday, February 2. This is a screening only and no treatment will be given. This is for children age seven or younger who have not been to a dentist.

You may already have turned in a form to our school to say that your child has been to a dentist, or that the screening is against your family's beliefs. If so, your child will not be screened. If your child is screened, results will be sent to you in backpack mail and also go into the student's file at their school. If you wish to opt-out of the screening, please contact our office.

For more information about the screening, you can contact our district's Health Services Department at 503-825-5093. Good dental care contributes to the overall good health of our students!

Sherwood School District will be be hosting free vision screenings for all elementary students. Vision screenings at Archer Glen will be held on Tuesday, February 6. The testing will be done by Lions Club with helpers using the SPOT screening devices. The test is painless, is done from a distance, and does not touch your child's eyes or face.

Results will come to us in about a week. Most students pass the exam. Due to the amount of paperwork, we will only send home "not passing" results to parents/guardians in student backpack mail. If you want a copy of "passing" results, please contact our Health Services Department.

If you do not want your child to have the vision screening (opt-out) please contact our office. If you have any questions about the vision screening, please call Health Services at 503-825-5093.

Financial assistance may be available if your student needs an eye exam and/or glasses.
