Staff Room Surprises
Hawks View staff would like to thank everyone for a wonderful week leading up to winter break. We had a fabulous ‘trip’ to Switzerland, with wonderful treats all week! We appreciate our PAC and our parents for organizing and helping out with this wonderful week of events.
Food Drive Update
We would like to thank our fabulous families for their generosity during our food drive. We set a new record of 7,598 items! Hawks View Hawks are amazing! Thank you to the Elks Club for partnering with us and keeping distribution local. We know a lot of families will benefit this holiday season from your donations.
Food Services Update
Our elementaries will begin serving peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in the cafeteria starting in January 2023. The item that will be served is a Smucker's Uncrustable, a pre-packaged option. This means that there will be no risk of cross-contamination in the kitchens for students who experience peanut allergies and participate in school lunch.
Your children's safety is our highest concern. Safeguards will be in place so that students with peanut allergies will have an alert on their account, preventing them from being served an item containing peanuts. If you have any questions about our cafeteria processes to prevent cross-contamination, please contact Nutrition Services at nutrition@sherwood.k12.or.us. If you want to discuss concerns about your own child's allergy with our Health Services Department, please contact health@sherwood.k12.or.us.
When to Keep Students Home
A Final Note of Thanks...
We hope you have a wonderful break full of rest, relaxation, and joy. The Hawks View staff is grateful for all of your work and partnership in creating routines for your family as we all work to support your family’s learning goals. Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security, which helps each student on their journey to become lifelong learners.
Every day of school is an important opportunity for students' academic learning as well as for building connections with their peers and teachers. While we hope you and your family greatly enjoy this time off, we also appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra time off surrounding the winter break. As long as your child is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session.
We thank:
- Our students and their families who do their best to show up daily even when it isn’t easy.
- Our teachers who go above and beyond to make school a welcoming and safe place for all students to learn.
- Our school team who enables us to work together to ensure we create a physically and emotionally safe and engaging learning environment.
- Our many, many helpers - the support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need.
We appreciate each one of you! May these days off be restful and healing.
- If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to our counselor, Sydney Allred, for help.
- We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes Wednesday, January 4, 2023.
Thank you for partnering with us!
