Please plan to join us for our next Community Forum, happening October 15, 5:30-7:30pm at the Laurel Ridge Middle School Cafeteria. Topics to be presented include updates on our 2016 Capital Improvement Bond projects, our district's exploration of potential changes to school start times, and an overview of HB 3427 (the Student Success Act) - including an opportunity to provide feedback on our district's investment of this new funding source.

Next week, students at all of our schools will participate in the “Great Oregon ShakeOut” earthquake drill, happening on Thursday, October 17th at 10:17 a.m. This drill is an opportunity for our students and staff to practice earthquake safety by learning how to quickly respond within the school environment.

For more information, please visit the “ShakeOut” web page, which provides valuable resources for students, staff and parents.

Sherwood School District has begun a process to adjust our elementary school boundaries for the 2020-2021 school year. The opening of the new high school, which will be followed by the shifting of school buildings through our Transformations projects, will create a need to adjust boundaries to ensure that enrollment is balanced across the District, while also accounting for capacity needed for future enrollment growth.

An eight person committee, made up of two parents from each elementary school, has begun meeting to look at potential adjustments. The committee will be holding public forums to solicit community feedback on November 4 and December 16. A recommendation will be made to the school board in January.

For more information, please visit the Boundary Adjustment Website at:

The SSD Board of Directors is currently seeking qualified applicants to fill two vacancies on the Sherwood School District Budget Committee.

Budget Committee positions #3 and #5 are open due to the expiration of the terms of Derek Olson and Mike Babjak. These positions have three-year terms, which will expire on June 30, 2022. Applications from interested parties must be turned in by November 8, 2019, in order to be considered. The Board intends to appoint the new members at its regular meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

The Budget Committee plays a vital role in assisting the District and the community in reviewing the proposed budget each year before the proposal is presented to the Board for adoption.

Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m., November 8, 2019.
