Nutrition Services Update
March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday, and our Nutrition Services team is helping us celebrate with a special birthday cake bar treat included in all school lunches! This packaged item was packaged in a nut-free facility, but please be advised that the cake bar does include wheat and soy, and will not be included with gluten-free meals.
Lockdown Drills at All Schools (February 27-March 10)
All schools in our district will be participating in lockdown drills February 27-March 10. These drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific protocols that would occur in an emergency situation. This will be the second lockdown drill of the year and will not be announced to students or staff in advance to allow for an accurate observation of any response protocols that need improvement or additional training. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near campus during a lockdown drill, as SPD officers do participate in these drills.
During a lockdown drill, staff and students are secured within their individual classrooms/offices, and there is no movement in the building. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the campus until the drill has been completed.
For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here.
Kinder Registration for Next Year
Registration for our incoming Kindergarten class is available online using the link below. Incoming Kindergarten students must turn 5 prior to September 1. Registering early helps the school and district start planning for the fall.
Online Kindergarten Registration
During online registration, new families will create a Sherwood ParentVUE account. Parents of current and former Sherwood students will log in with their existing ParentVUE account. Please call the Archer Glen front office at 503-825-5100 or email Sandi Emmert at slemmert@sherwood.k12.or.us if you have any questions.
Paper Registration
Families are also welcome to register using paper registration. Paper registration packets can be picked up from the Archer Glen front office.
Student Personal Devices
Since the winter break, there has been an uptick in classroom disruptions due to students' personal devices, such as cell phones and smart watches. Student often have these devices to help with after school communication and coordination. However, students should refrain from using them during the school day. This will help in making the classroom environment free from distraction.
If there is a need to communicate with your child during the school day (e.g., a change in the "go home plan"), please feel free to contact the front office.
