My favorite conversation of the week took place with a fourth grade student at the crosswalk after the first day of school.
Me: "How was your first day? Are you exhausted?"
Student: "I just want the second day to start right now."
It has been a GREAT first week at Middleton, with very few tears and a lot of JOY. THANK YOU for entrusting your kids to us. We love the work we do here and know that it is important and consequential work.
While we all might not all be happy about having to start school in August, a 3-day week followed by a 3-day weekend seems just about perfect right now.
Happy Weekend,
Natasha

As we begin our school year, volunteers at Sherwood Helping Hands are also beginning their work with the Backpacks for Kids program. This program is designed for children and families who may need additional support with nutritious meals at home over the weekends. Every Thursday during the school year, children enrolled will receive a bag that’s pre-packaged with food before leaving school for the day. All children will receive their bag in a confidential and private manner.
If you feel the Backpack Food Program would be helpful for your family or would like additional information, please contact Alyssa Olson, our School Counselor, at 503-825-5304 or Aolson@sherwood.k12.or.us. Enrollment is quick, easy, and confidential.
REMINDER: We will no longer have a crossing guard at the Crooked River crosswalk. Students will walk up the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street and cross over Old Hwy 99 in the front of the school where crossing guards will be stationed. After school, students will cross in front of the school and travel down toward Crooked River on the opposite side of the street.
Are you planning to volunteer in your student's classroom this year? Are you planning to attend class parties or chaperone a field trip? If so, you will need to complete a background check first. The process is simple and takes less than five minutes. Click HERE to complete your background check. (A new background check must be completed each new school year.)
