We are looking for more Panda Parents and caregivers to join a PTO committee for the 2022-2023 school year. Fingers crossed we can bring back the Carnival, Bingo Night, Skate Night, Sherwood Cookbook and more! Open to any and all ideas! We can’t do it without your help and support! Please contact danajweiss@gmail.com if you want to get involved!

The Earth thank you for recycling! Recycle everyday. | Novelty christmas, Holiday, Christmas

Hey Pandas! Guess what??? Because of your amazing efforts during our recycling project, Sherwood placed #14 out of over 530 schools actively reporting!!! We also ended up recycling 387 pounds of plastic!!!! To add to that, because of the efforts of ALL of the participating schools, collectively we recycled 323,586 lbs of plastic and kept this out of our landfills! While we didn't win, we should ALL be proud of our efforts and the difference we made in the environment.

Way to go, Sherwood!!!!

We plan on continuing these efforts next year and would love for our Sherwood families to help us with a headstart this spring and during the summer. All you have to do is weigh your plastic bags, record the weight, and then recycle them as usual at participating store locations such as Mariano's, Jewel-Osco, or Target. Make sure to keep track of your efforts! If you'd like to turn your weight totals in each month, please feel free to email them to Jennifer Broderick at jenniferbroderick08@gmail.com

Sherwood is looking for 1-3 volunteers who are interested in helping to promote the D112 FUNd Run and Family Walk of 2022 within our Sherwood community early next Fall.

There will likely be one meeting over the summer. This volunteer(s) will be responsible for sharing FUNd Run information with our Sherwood community and getting our students, families, teachers and staff excited to participate!

The FUNd Run 2022 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 1, 2022. If interested, please respond to this email. Thank you!

LUNCH SOLUTIONS FOOD DAYS

Thank you to all of our volunteers so far this school year! The second half of the year is now open, so if you are interested in volunteering please sign up on the Lunch Solutions site - Sherwood Food Days Lunch Solutions Link. All volunteers must be vaccinated.

Go to the Volunteer tab> Sign me up to Volunteer.

To select volunteer dates, you need to do the following:

Select the Name of the parent who will be volunteering

Select the volunteer dates by clicking on the checkbox(es) on the rightmost column

Press Save My Selections to commit to your dates requested (nothing is recorded until you

press this button)

As a reminder lunch volunteers now need to be at school no later than 11 am and must remain in the lunch rooms, whether passing out food or supervising, for the duration of the three lunch periods.

Point of contact for any questions regarding volunteers is Ally Kirshenbaum. Ally can be reached via email at ally.kirshenbaum@gmail.com.

For questions regarding Lunch Solutions and their services, please reach out to lunchsolutions4sherwood@gmail.com.

In addition- we need families to indicate seat assignments after their student’s last name on the Lunch Solution site. This will make passing out lunches so much easier for Food Days volunteers. To make changes, simply log in to your Lunch Solutions account and click your email on the top right corner- then click on Profile. Once you see your student’s name on the bottom left you can double click the last name and add the number. It will save automatically.

Don’t know the seat assignments? Contact Nataly in the office or ask your student’s teacher.

District 112 Substitute Teaching Opportunities

Parents and Community Members,

Are you looking for a flexible job where you can choose your own schedule, make a difference in students' lives, network with other teachers, expand your skills, and help the community? Being a substitute/guest teacher in D112 could be for you! Guest teachers are an essential component of our day-to-day instruction.

We periodically review candidates' online credentials/applications to make additions to our guest teacher pool. If you are being considered as an addition to our guest teacher pool, you will be contacted for an interview.

If you have any questions, please contact Patty Samuelian, Guest Teacher Coordinator at 224-765-3042, or Jessica DuBois, Executive Assistant in the Personnel Department at 224-765-3041.
