SHS Weekly Newsletter

Spring is a special time of year at the high school. It's a time of culminating activities like exams, special events and awards nights. It's also a time of significant transition for our seniors and incoming freshmen. During this time, it's normal to experience a wide range of emotions while navigating the stress and excitement that comes with being or supporting high school students. Working with our students and families, and as a mom of two teens, I know this time of year can be extra challenging to navigate. If you're struggling, you're not alone. When you need a little extra help, whether you're a student or someone who is supporting a student, we want to help. Please reach out to any member of our staff, we're here to support you.

Next week, we celebrate Mental Health Week at the high school. We will have a theme for each day, and messages to support each other and build awareness about mental health.

Please join us Thursday, April 25, for Spring Conferences! Our teachers will be available in the commons from 4:30pm-8pm.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable week, and makes some beautiful memories this spring!

Have a great weekend and Go Bowmen!

Mrs. Voss

All Sherwood schools will be participating in our third and final round of emergency drills for this school year April 22-May 3. Each school will select either a "Secure" or a "Lockdown" drill for this final round. These drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific actions that would occur in an emergency situation. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department to continue improving our safety plans. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near our campus during an emergency drill, as our SROs do participate in checking our building security during the drill.

During drills, staff and students are secured within the building. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the campus until the drill has been completed.

For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here.
