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. They help us sustain instructional excellence during the absence of our regular staff.

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.
