• Proof of vaccination are submitted to the Archer Glen front office in-person or via email (jmorales@sherwood.k12.or.us). Vaccination exception forms, if needed, can be found here: Medical Exception Request or Religious Exception Request. Completed exception forms are emailed to Steve Emmert at semmert@sherwood.k12.or.us. Exceptions may take up to 14 days to process.

Classroom Volunteers are coordinated directly through the classroom teacher. Classroom volunteers will need to a) complete a background check and b) submit a proof of vaccination or receive approval for a vaccination exception. Reach out to your child's teacher to learn about volunteering in the classroom.

Any questions about school-wide volunteer opportunities can be directed to Lyndsey Brewer, PAC Volunteer, at volunteer@archerglenpac.org

This year, all students (K-5) at Archer Glen Elementary have the opportunity to explore the world

through a program called The Passport Club - which is an effective and fun way to help achieve geographic literacy. Help us give our children the world!

Each child receives a passport, chooses an individual level of study and collects “stamps” for their passport as she/he learns some or all of the world’s countries over the course of the school year. Their passports will be held during the year and awarded to the children at the year-end assembly.

Club members meet once a month before school. Register by October 3rd, 2022.

The Sherwood School District is conducting a community engagement process as we assess how to best meet the needs of our students and families. At last night’s Back to School Night, we shared a short presentation about this process, as well as an opportunity to complete a parent/guardian feedback survey.

If you were unable to attend last night’s presentation, the information can be found here.

To complete our parent/guardian survey, please visit bit.ly/3DmQiCh or scan the QR code to the right to access our online survey. To complete the survey in Spanish, please visit bit.ly/3Su2OUC.

The Sherwood School District has a Community-Based webpage on the Sherwood School District website with information and links for all Sherwood area sports and events. Please click on Community for a direct link to the webpage.

We recognize the impact that returning to paid school meals this year can have on family budgets, and encourage parents/guardians to complete an eligibility application to determine if your family qualifies for free or reduced meals -- even if your family may not have been eligible under federal guidelines in past years. The Oregon Expanded Income Eligibility Group (EIG) supports families who do not qualify for meal benefits using federal income guidelines. It provides meal benefits to households with incomes above 185%, but not exceeding 300%, of the federal poverty guidelines.

To apply for either Federal or EIG free/reduced meal eligibility, please complete the Online Free and Reduced Meal Application. For more details on income-based eligibility, please click the image below to access the Federal and Oregon Expanded Income Eligibility charts for the 2022-23 school year.

If you have additional questions about school meals or free/reduced eligibility, please contact our Nutrition Services Department at nutrition@sherwood.k12.or.us, or by phone at 503-825-5009.

Reminder: The first early release of the school year is next Wednesday, September 14. Students will be dismissed one hour early @ 1:15 PM. Every Wednesday will be an early release. See the District Calendar for a complete list of early release dates and other important dates.
