Budget Update & Furlough Dates
Last night, our Board of Directors received an update from District staff on the proposed reduction plan to address the District’s current budget deficit. This presentation included information about reductions to staff positions and discretionary spending, as well as proposed furlough dates. For a video of that presentation and other updates on the current year budget situation, please visit our website here.
Following the District’s presentation, the Board voted to adopt the following three staff furlough dates:
March 24, 2023 (Friday before Spring Break)
June 15-16, 2023 (End of school year)
Approval of these dates also includes the following adjustments to the 2022-23 academic calendar:
Trimester 2 last day will change from Thursday, March 16 to Friday, March 10
Staff work day will change from Friday, March 17 to Monday, March 13
Last day of school for K-11 students will move from Thursday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 13
Staff work day will change from Friday, June 16 to Wednesday, June 14
Spring conferences will be canceled. Conference dates at elementary (May 11-12) and at middle school (April 14) will become full school days.
In the event that we have inclement weather school closures this year, we may use identified furlough dates as our weather “make up” days.
For the full 2022-23 academic calendar reflecting these adjustments, please see the link below.

AG Food Drive for Elks Holiday Food Baskets
Items can be brought to the classrooms or deposited in the lobby each day starting on Monday, Nov. 28th. PAC volunteers will be collecting the items and boxing them for pick up from the Elks Lodge on December 9th.

Great Body Shop - Health Instruction
Please be on the lookout for communication from your teachers about online access to The Great Body Shop, our Health Instructional materials. Teachers will be sharing access to the Family Portal and instructions on creating an account. This Portal will allow you to view the Student Issues that accompany each unit in Health, as well as the complete lesson plans for all Opt-Out Optional lessons and activities. In order to know which lessons to look for, you can refer to the opt-out forms sent at the beginning of health instruction each unit. Please note that ALL Opt-Out Optional lessons are available online, including ones that will not be addressed until later in the year. Thank you for your continued support!

Transportation Department Updates
Snow Routes are posted on our Transportation Department page and can be found here. When Snow Routes are activated, service will be limited on all routes except for 1, 8, 9, 12, 14, and 18, which will not be affected. For all other routes, please review if your stop will be impacted during an inclement weather event.
After Thanksgiving break, rural routes will service all grade levels together in order to improve the arrival time to our secondary schools. All route changes will be reflected in the Ride 360 app on Tuesday, November 22nd and will take effect on Monday, November 28th. Regardless of whether or not you live in a rural area, check the Ride 360 app because your bus stop time may change. If you do not have the Ride 360 app, you can find directions on how to install the app and register your student(s) at the link below. You will need your student(s) ID number(s) and the birthdate(s) must be entered in the following format MM/DD/YYYY.
Special Education Parent Partnership
The Student Services Department invites parents to join Sherwood School District's monthly Special Education Parent Partnership meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity to build relationships, learn more about special education, and network with professionals and parents who have a passion for supporting students with disabilities.

Sherwood Education Foundation's "Clicking 4 Kids" Campaign
