It is a priority for Sherwood School District to provide a school environment that fosters healthy eating habits for our students. This year all foods and beverages offered to students outside of the School Meal Program will meet Oregon Smart Snack nutrition standards, with some exceptions for celebratory events and community activities. These exceptions are specific to building-levels. If you would like to learn more, please reach out to your child's school.
Greetings for the new school year!
First off, we want to introduce ourselves for our new parents and students: Officer James Wolfer and Officer Preston Neumann. SRO Wolfer has five years of full time law enforcement experience and has been your SRO since 2021. This is his third year as an SRO. Officer Neumann is just starting as an SRO but has several years of law enforcement experience as well.
Our primary goal and duty as SROs is to safeguard your kids and to ensure their safety at school. Safety is definitely at the forefront of all of our minds, especially in light of recent tragedies the last few years around the country. Please rest assured that in the event of any major threat, we will not hesitate to intervene for the safety of students and staff, and we train as a department often on handling dangerous and threatening situations.
Outside of those issues, we also work hard, in partnership with the school district, to help safeguard the wellbeing of your kids. If you, as a parent, have any problem or concern that will affect your child’s well-being, please let us know. If it’s not something we can solve, we have many other resources we can put you in touch with.
We look forward to interacting with your students as we help maintain and promote a safe learning environment. We truly believe that our schools are safest when we partner together, as law enforcement, staff, students, and most importantly, parents. We understand how difficult it can be raising a child in these uncertain times, and we are here to assist however we can.
As YOUR SROs, we are committed to:
- Being visible in the school community to help deter criminal activity and promote safety
- Attending and participating in school functions
- Building relationships with students, school staff, and parents
- Promoting a safe learning environment for the students and staff
Please feel free to say hi if you see us out and about at school functions or at your child’s school, football games, school board meetings, or in the community.
We look forward to serving you all.
Happy parenting,
SRO Wolfer and SRO Neumann
