Good evening Sherwood Families. Students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes to school tomorrow for our Halloween celebration. Please remember that costumes must be little kid friendly. Do not send your students to school with any weapons, blood or gore effects or makeup, or overtly scary masks. With cold weather here for the season, we ask that you make sure to send your student to school with a warm coat or jacket and weather appropriate shoes. The mornings have been very chilly. We also recommend that all students have a change of clothing that they keep on campus. This is especially helpful for falls on rainy days when things get slippery on the field.

The Sherwood Staff would like to wish everyone a very safe and happy Halloween!

If you are dropping off your student please direct them to go directly to their classroom. You may walk them to their classroom or we will have adults helping to walk students. While the dog is on campus we will keep students inside the classrooms and escort them to the restroom if needed.
