Around the School Spotlight
Our Kindergarten Dual Language Immersion class was setting routines and expectations for Community Circles on Day 1. They did a great job of listening to one another and sharing their ideas!
Back to School Night
Our Back to School Night will be held on Thursday, September 21st from 6-7:30pm. A video was sent out to families yesterday, but you can view it here.
We are trying a new format this year, which we’re excited about! Students and parents/guardians can visit classrooms and specialists (in Gym 1) anytime between 6:00-6:45. While in classrooms, teachers will have a variety of activities/things to do or see that showcase that specific grade level. At 6:45, a picnic style dinner will be served in the cafeteria for families and staff to eat and visit. Thank you to Journey Church for donating the meals!
Picture Day is Coming!
Dorian Studio will be here on Tuesday, September 26th to take student pictures. Please see the flyer for more information on ordering, and a few helpful tips to make picture day great. Picture envelopes will be coming home via backpack mail next week.

District Calendar Update
This year, all Sherwood elementary schools will have three half days for students. Two of these days will be for teacher professional development, and the third will be for the last day of school.
The release time for all three half days will be 11 am. No lunch will be served on those days. Earlier in the year we sent district messaging that the release time would be 11:15 am on these days, so we wanted to share this update right away so families can plan accordingly.
Our three days that will end at 11 am are:
November 1st
April 10th
June 12th
This information will be updated on the district calendar soon, and reminders will be sent to families as each day gets closer.
Student Services Parent Partnership Meeting - September 27
SAVE THE DATE! The Student Services Department will be hosting their first Parent Partnership meeting of the academic year on Wednesday, September 27th from 7:00-8:30pm at the District Office. The goal of the Student Services Parent Partnership meetings are to build positive connections and relationships with parents of students with disabilities. These meetings provide an opportunity to learn more about special education and Section 504, and build community with professionals and parents who have a passion for supporting students with disabilities.
