Dear Families,
Valentine’s Day kicked off Sherwood’s 17 days of Kindness Campaign. Staff and students have been promoting the campaign in many ways. For example, teachers received many letters from students and friends on February 26th thanking them for their hard work and dedication to children. Teachers have been working with their students to play with a different friend or say a kind word to someone. We are hoping that the campaign will promote acts of kindness and positivity will continue to grow throughout the remainder of the year!
As we continue our march through the second semester, the focus will be on student engagement! Many parents attended our first student-led conference night, where students shared their i-Ready data with families. Research has shown that by conducting student-led conferences, students take more responsibility and ownership of their learning. They will start working on goal-setting and strategies to reach these goals. We are ending February with a focus on Science. Sherwood had our third annual Mad Scientist Day! The teachers conducted hands-on experiments with their classes that fostered inquiry and investigation by the students. Students were very engaged while going through the scientific process.
Thank you for your support and keep reaching for the STARS!

All classroom doors and inside building doors will remain locked during the day for safety.
