This year, an unprecedented number of yearbooks were ordered. To accommodate every order, there will be tiered distribution by grade, with some students receiving their yearbooks from a second shipment at a later date to be announced soon.

Senior distribution will occur first. All seniors that would like a yearbook will have the opportunity to get one, whether they pre-ordered or not. Once seniors have their yearbooks, distribution will start for other classes.

Pre-orders (books ordered before May 12) for juniors and sophomores will be fulfilled next after the seniors. Freshman who pre-ordered before May 12th will have the next priority as books from the first delivery are available.

Remaining freshman who pre-ordered, and additional orders placed after May 12, will be fulfilled from the second shipment coming at a later date, which could be by the end of this school year but possibly next fall.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this unprecedented interest in our Yearbook!

Distribution Dates

Seniors will pick up their books at lunch on June 1-2 (seniors can pay for and receive their book any time up to this date).

Juniors that pre-ordered before May 12 will pick up their books on June 5.

Sophomores that pre-ordered before May 12 will pick up their books on June 6.

If any books remain, freshmen that pre-ordered before May 12 will pick up their books on June 7.

All remaining freshmen, and new purchases will pick up their books on a date to be announced based on the speed and shipping of the next round of yearbooks, which could be next fall.

If you have not yet purchased a yearbook, and you want one, please purchase it over this weekend, so you are guaranteed a book in the second order, which is being placed on Monday at 8 am.

The Sherwood Nutrition Department has received new Oregon Farm-to-School Grant funding. These funds will be used to partner with a local business to provide sushi as a lunch option once a week. The protein in the sushi will be fully cooked, tempura shrimp. This entrée will be pre-packaged and sealed upon arrival, significantly minimizing the opportunity for cross-contamination of shellfish allergens. School nurses have also been made aware of this addition to the menu. If you have any questions about this addition, please contact the Nutrition Services department at nutrition@sherwood.k12.or.us.

Sherwood High School will be hosting its second annual Spring Fest on Friday May 19th, 5-7:30pm at the SHS Stadium Field. Admission is free, and all Sherwood residents are invited. Come join in on the fun!

A timeless tale of “whodunit,” Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap strands seven strangers at Monkswell Manor during a blizzard. But a police sergeant unexpectedly arrives, worried that a murderer-at-large is among the guests of the Manor. Before he can investigate, one of the guests is killed, starting an investigation into the lives and histories of everyone there. One of them is the killer, and another one of them may be next. Will the police be able to solve the case before another “mouse” falls? The world’s longest continuously running play for over 70 years, The Mousetrap continues to delight and intrigue mystery lovers of all ages. Performances will be at Sherwood High School auditorium, May 18th and 19th at 7pm and May 20th at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets can be purchased online at bowmentheatre.com/tickets and at the door.

SHS Golf Tournament Fundraiser / Registration Info

This week the Oregon Department of Education and OHA announced major updates to the current COVID-19 policies for K-12. First, effective now, a five-day period of isolation for those infected with COVID-19 will no longer be required in K-12 settings. Students with positive COVID cases will now fall under similar “when to stay home” guidance as other illnesses, which is that your ill child can return to school when they have been fever-free for 24 hours and shown overall symptom improvement. Families with sick children are encouraged to contact the school office with any questions about illness and absences.

The other major change is that effective June 17, the vaccine requirement for school staff and volunteers will be lifted. We will be opening volunteer registration for the 2023-24 school year starting July 1 -- watch for an upcoming email from our district with more information on the volunteer background check and clearance process for next year.

Please note that all volunteers in schools between now and the end of the current school year are still under the vaccine requirement through June 16. Volunteer background checks for the current 2022-23 school year will close on June 5, 2023, so any parents/guardians planning to volunteer for end-of-the-year school events must complete the volunteer form by that date. For volunteer forms, please visit our website at https://sherwood.k12.or.us/resources/volunteer-opportunities/
