Sherwood Updates
Read Across America Week concluded today with students and staff in comfortable pajamas! A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Weiss for planning such fun activities.
It is springtime and the weather will be up and down over the next few weeks. Please continue to remind students to bring sweatshirts and jackets for recess and outdoor P.E. We will have our students outside as much as possible to enjoy the fresh air and our amazing outdoor space we have here at Sherwood.
Thank you again for all of your continued support and partnership. We are looking forward to another great week!
Panda Pride,
Rachel & Kevin

Spring Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent teacher conferences will take place on Thursday, March 17th from 3:15pm-8:00pm and Friday, March 18th from 8:00am-12:00pm. We will continue to schedule conferences using Meet the Teacher, which is a scheduling and videoconferencing platform, after a successful pilot run during parent teacher conferences last November.
Today, parents will receive a letter with a unique login code for your child(ren). We ask that as a family, you coordinate schedules and sign up for one appointment per teacher, per child. If both parents will not be in the same location for the conference, then the parent who makes the appointment will need to invite the other parent to attend using the link in your confirmation email.
Conference sign up will open on Monday, February 28th at 9:00am. We are excited to share that all our schools are using this system now, so you will be able to schedule conferences for all your D112 students simultaneously!
