See you Monday!
We are so thrilled to welcome back our hybrid students to in person learning on Monday, February 1st. Masks are one of our most important safety measures. A friendly reminder that all students and staff must wear a mask that is properly fitting and that covers both the mouth and nose.
Please click on the button below for more information regarding student materials that will need to be returned to school.
Wash your hands.
Wear a mask.
Watch your distance.
Stay safe everyone!

Student Informed Consent Form - COVID-19 Saliva Screening
We are looking forward to welcoming back students and staff to all campuses next week as we pivot from all remote learning back to the hybrid learning model that we started the school year with. To further advance the efforts toward risk mitigation measures, the District has contracted with Safeguard to provide COVID-19 saliva screening to students attending in-person instruction and all interested staff. There is no cost to any family for any testing, this is part of the District 112 COVID-19 emergency funding. We will not be offering this to families and students who are in fully remote learning at this time.
For information on the screening please refer to the below documents.
iREAD (Virtual) - Home Stretch!
We are in the home stretch for iREAD with only 5 days left! Please read as much as you can over the next 5 days, keep track of your minutes read and share your form electronically or bring your form in to your teacher on Feb. 4th. Let’s see if we can reach our goal of reading 300,000 minutes as a school and bring the district trophy back to Sherwood! GO PANDAS!
