Hello Shepard Families:
Skyward Family Access is now closed to allow teachers to finalize grades as the term comes to a close. If you have a question about your child's grade, please contact your child's teacher(s) directly. We will send notice to you when Family Access is reopened.
Warm Regards,

4th/FINAL Posting - Shepard PTSO School Supplies Order
Time is running out to order your school supplies!
Don’t delay -- there is only one week left to order your school supplies for next year.
Teachers like it when parents purchase through this program because every child has the same set of supplies and is ready to go on the first day of school. Parents like it because it is so much easier than running from store to store to get just the right item! And, through bulk purchasing, we’re able to save you money, too. Orders will be delivered right to school available for pick up at fee day.
· To order, visit: DeerfieldCoalition.com

1st Posting - Traffic Reminders
We've had a few complaints, so we are reposting this information so that all are aware.
We take great pride in ensuring safe and efficient drop off and pick up procedures! Please view the attached aerial map for a visual of drop off procedures. Remember that traffic in and out of Shepard moves one direction. You will approach Shepard moving south in a single file line on Grove Avenue and exit to the east on Poplar Lane. Do not park and exit your car while on Grove, in front of the school, or on Poplar. If you must exit your vehicle, you need to park in the main lot--the Buildings & Grounds lot is not open to parents.
During pick up, please be kind to our neighbors. Do not park in front of driveways and refrain from making 3-point turns in the street or in our neighbors driveways to head north on Grove. Not only do our neighbors frequently complain about their driveways being used for this purpose, this presents a safety risk to our students.
Please respect all traffic signs and stay off your cell phone. You will see your building administrators out and about in yellow vests welcoming students and directing traffic. If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask. Bottom line - obey the rules, be patient, and keep moving!
