SHS Weekly Newsletter

Thank you to our school staff, district staff, students, families, and community members for your support of our school as we are grieving the loss of our wonderful staff member, Mrs. Hurley. We continue to be here for anyone that may need help in processing this situation. Our Bowmen Family is strong, and while difficult, these events highlight the amazing community that Sherwood High School is.

As always, there were many events at the school this week as we are nearing the finish of our fall activities and athletics. We both congratulate our marching band, cheer team, dance team, cross country teams, soccer teams, volleyball team, and football team on their great seasons so far, and wish them the best in their season finales and upcoming playoff games!

We are looking forward to again celebrating our wonderful staff in November through our community "Celebrating Sherwood Staff" nominations. Please fill out the form with any recognition of our staff from the past month!

Have a great weekend, and Go Bowmen!

Mr. Mitchell

Sherwood High School will offer all 10th grade students an opportunity to take the Pre-ACT exam on Tuesday November 7th (Last Name A-K) and Thursday November 9th (Last Name L-Z). There is no registration fee.

The Pre-ACT is a multiple choice exam that familiarizes students with the ACT. Mirroring the style of the official college entrance exam, this paper-based test features questions in four subject areas: English/language arts, math, reading, and science. Click here for more information about the Pre-ACT.

Testing will occur at the Sherwood School District Office - 21920 Southwest Sherwood Boulevard, Sherwood, OR 97140, and begin promptly at 9AM. Shuttle buses will be provided from SHS to the district office, and lunch will be provided when students return to SHS.

All sophomore students completed this registration form in homeroom last week. All sophomores must complete this form, even if they are not taking the test. Students will be defaulted to opting in, unless opted out by parents or guardians. Families will receive confirmation of Pre-ACT opt-outs no later than Friday, November 3rd.

• 11/1 - Half Day for Students ( Students released at 12:20pm)
• 11/2 - School picture retakes, see information below
• 11/10 - No School- Veteran's Day

Students will be released at 11:59am. The day will follow a schedule similar to early release but with shorter class periods and no lunch served (breakfast will still be available).
