Dear Sherwood Families,
Time is flying by and we are getting more and more excited for the new school year to start! As you and your child(ren) prepare for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 24th, please know there are many opportunities to connect with our Sherwood PTO.
PTO Registration (FREE)
Our incredible PTO sponsors MANY of our school-wide Sherwood activities. Each experience is tied to our school's mission by focusing on the whole child while also bringing our community together. Mark your calendars for our upcoming events:
- 8/23/22 @2pm - 4pm Back to School Bash
- 8/26/22 Panda STARS Kick-Off Assembly with Bizar Entertainment (students and staff only)

Moving forward all Panda Prints will be sent to families each Friday. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach to Kevin and me!
Panda Pride,
Rachel & Kevin

Sherwood School Supplies
If you need to purchase school supplies CLICK HERE for the grade level lists. If you purchased a PTO school supplies kit, your child's supplies will be delivered to Sherwood and placed in their classroom so that everything is ready for the first day of school.
Additional items needed for the classroom in ALL GRADES:
- 1 Art smock/shirt
- 1 Set of headphones
- 1 Complete change of clothes to leave at school
Back to School Bash
On Tuesday, August 23rd between 2:00 - 4:00pm all Sherwood students and families are invited to drop off school supplies and to meet your teachers outside on the playground. We will have Sherwood helpers bring school supplies into the building so everything is ready in your child's classroom on the first day of school. The event will take place outside only near the east playground.
We recommend stopping by as close to 2pm as possible to meet your teacher; the teachers' contractual hours end at 2:45pm on August 23rd. After you say hi to your teacher, we invite you to enjoy sports and games facilitated by Hi-Five Sports!
