This week was Staff Appreciation and I want to personally thank the entire Hawks View staff for their unwavering dedication to kids. We have individuals here who are passionate about the work they do and truly want to make a difference in the lives of our students. They are hard working, diligent, caring, open-minded and joyful. I could go on and on about our staff and I am grateful they had the opportunity to be celebrated this week by our PAC and families. Thank you for making them feel loved!

A Message from our Multilingual Specialist, Mrs. Lira

Last week, Hawks View Dual Language (DL) teachers attended the OABE conference. On Friday, we had the opportunity to visit two dual-language schools in the Portland metro area alongside hundreds of other DL educators. On Saturday, teachers and parents from the DL program participated in various workshops to stay informed about community engagement, the latest research, and instructional practices in dual language education. This week, teachers have already implemented many new instructional strategies and insights gained from the conference. I feel proud and fortunate to witness the incredible work being done every day in each DL classroom!

Bring your friends and family, test your luck, and see if you can shout "Bingo!" first!

SSD Indepdendence Academy and Bella Bloom Floral

Independence Academy has partnered with Bella Bloom Floral this year. Every week, Bella Bloom Florals graciously gifts us flowers from the previous weekend events. If you know of anyone in our community who could use a smile or a little pick me up, please let us know! Our students and staff have been trained in basic floral design and we would be happy to hand deliver a beautiful bouquet!

Please email us at mvincent@sherwood.k12.or.us for any additional questions or to submit a request!

National School Breakfast Week, March 3rd-7th, 2025

National School Breakfast Week celebrates the importance of a nutritious school breakfast in fueling students for success. Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:

Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
Score higher on standardized tests
Have better concentration and memory
Be more alert
Maintain a healthy weight

Nutrition Services is celebrating by hosting a raffle contest! Next week, each student participating in School Breakfast will be entered into a raffle drawing (limit one entry per day). On Friday, we will draw the winner of this year's prize; a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble.

Happy National School Breakfast Week!

Reminder ~ After School Changes

There may be times when your student will have an alternate destination or pick-up at the end of the school day. In such cases, please send a note to your child’s teacher or the main office in the morning on arrival, or call the main office at 503-825-5400 before 1:30 pm. If emailing a message, please email both the teacher and the office. Teachers aren’t always able to check email during the day and may not see the message. Calls or emails after 1:30 make it difficult to get messages to classrooms in a timely manner, and we can’t guarantee that they will arrive in time. Please do not call the attendance line as this is for reporting absences only.

Lost and Found

Please remind your child(ren) to check the lost and found. These are items that have been left behind in January and February. Labeling jackets with student names will help us get them returned to the rightful owners. If you would like to come in and check lost and found for any missing items, you may do so after 2:30 when students have left the building.

Kindergarten Open House ~ March 13th

Do you have, or do you know someone that has a student starting Kindergarten in the 25-26 school year? Registration for Kindergarten is now open and we have some exciting upcoming events. This includes Kindergarten Open House on March 13 from 4:00 - 6:00 pm.

Kindergarten Registration

Registration for our incoming Kindergarten class is available online using the link below. Incoming Kindergarten students must turn 5 prior to September 1. Registering early helps the school and district start planning for the fall.

Online Kindergarten Registration

During online registration, new families will create a Sherwood ParentVUE account. Parents of current and former Sherwood students will log in with their existing ParentVUE account. Please call the Hawks View front office at 503-825-5400 if you have any questions.

Paper Registration

Families are also welcome to register using paper registration. Paper registration packets can be picked up from the Hawks View front office.

Additionally, you are welcome to join us on Wednesday, April 9th for a DLI Interest & Showcase Night starting at 5pm. The “interest” portion of the evening is from 5:00-5:30. This portion will be both informative and interactive for our families who are curious about the program.
