Eagle Update
Archer Glen Elementary | September 22, 2023
A Message from your Principal
Dear Archer Glen,
It was great to see so many of you at last night’s Back to School Night. Thank you for spending the evening with us. We hope you found this to be an informative and helpful event. This next week, we look forward to the launch of our Art Literacy program. If you are interested in volunteering, you are invited to attend one of two volunteer training sessions, either this Monday from 6-7pm or Tuesday from 1-2pm. Both meetings are held at Archer Glen. As a reminder, volunteers need to complete an annual background check. Submission is easy, but can take up to two weeks to process. Our Fun Run is this upcoming Friday, September 29. Visitors are welcome and we’d love to see you there! See below for specific grade level times and other details. Finally, we are excited for some of our extra curricular activities to start up. Our 4th and 5th grade choir has their first rehearsal next week and, below, you’ll find signups for Passport Club and Chess Club, which will start in early/mid October.
Have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you next week!
Mr. Shuckerow

Archer Glen Passport Club
This year, all students (K-5) at Archer Glen Elementary have the opportunity to explore the world through a program called The Passport Club - which is an effective and fun way to help achieve geographic literacy.
Each child receives a passport and chooses an individual level of study. On monthly Check Days they show their knowledge and collect “stamps” for their passport as they learn some or all of the world’s countries over the course of the school year.
Club members meet once a month before school. Register by October 1st, 2023 and receive your Study Packet at the Passport Club Meet & Greet on Tuesday, Oct. 3rd.
Archer Glen Chess Club
Archer Glen will once again offer a Chess Club for students! Chess Club will meet on Thursdays starting promptly at 7am and will dismiss by 7:45am. Classes will begin on October 12th and will continue until early May (there will be no meetings on non school days). Cost for the season is $25 and includes a club t-shirt.

Volunteer Background Checks
Every volunteer in Sherwood School District must have a criminal background check completed each school year (July 1-June 30). Background checks take 7-10 business days to process. Background checks are required for each school year, so background checks completed prior to July 1, 2023 are not valid for the 23-24 school year.
Once your background checks clear, names are added to the approved volunteer list for all SSD schools. Please note: no approval notice goes out to cleared volunteers, so if you have questions about your submission or want to confirm your background check has been processed and approved, please contact the office of the school you would like to volunteer
To complete the volunteer approval process for 2023-24, please complete the form below:
