The Archer Glen Fun Run will be held on Friday, September 30th. This event is one of our fall highlights, promoting wellness and school spirit, as well as helping to raise money for our school. Families are invited to attend and cheer on their student. Visitors will be asked to check in at one of the check in stations near the field. More information will be coming out in the coming weeks.

This year, Sherwood High School - and other schools in our league - are moving to online ticketing through Hometown Ticketing, Inc. Tickets can be purchased online through the High School Website or the Hometown Ticketing App. It is highly preferred that tickets are pre-purchased online, and may be purchased with card or cash at the entrance gates. For more information about admission to this year's athletic events at Sherwood High School, please visit the District website here.

Arrival

Students should arrive to school between 7:45 and 7:55am. Classes begin at 7:55am. Students can use either the Main Entrance or the Activities Entrance to enter the building starting at 7:45am. Students arriving after 7:55am should use the Main Entrance.

Vehicle drop off is along the main parking lot sidewalk. Students should exit vehicles from the passenger side. If your child needs your assistance exiting the vehicle, please park your vehicle in a parking slot as not to disrupt the flow of traffic in the drop off lane. When exiting the parking lot, vehicles must only turn RIGHT. This also helps to keep traffic flowing. There is no student drop off in the bus lane. The bus lane must remain clear of all arrival traffic.

Breakfast service begins at 7:30am. Students eating breakfast will enter through the Activities Entrance starting at 7:30am. See the Nutrition Department webpage for pricing.

Dismissal

Students are dismissed at 2:15pm from exterior classroom doors. On early release Wednesdays, students are released at 1:15pm. K-1 students who are walking home need to be picked up by a chaperone. Grades 1-5 can be picked up in the care line, but Kindergarten students must be picked up from the exterior classroom door. Kindergarten students will not be released to the car line by themselves.

Meal pricing returns this year. Breakfast and lunch are no longer free. Information about breakfast and lunch prices and menus can be found on the Nutrition Department webpage.

Families may be eligible for the Free and Reduced Meals program: Apply for Free or Reduced Meals Program.

Funds can be added to your child's school account online by credit/debit card or ACH transfer, or in-person at your child's school. For online payment, parents/guardians will need to have a account through PayForIt.net. For information on setting up your PayForIt.net account, please click here.
