Grateful * Resilient * Optimistic * Willing
Dear Sherwood School Families: Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! Our office officially opens tomorrow morning. We hope this communication finds you healthy, safe and rested after your summer break. We look forward to meeting you if we haven't already met you in person. To those we know, welcome back. We are excited to start this school year and have our school community together again! We are a school that fosters community, belonging and caring. We continue to draw from these shared values as we prepare for learning this school year. Our school has received a fresh makeover, thanks to the hard work of our school community, some wonderful contractors, CBE painters and our school caretakers. The hallways, gyms, Hull breakout space and outside trim and doors have been freshly painted, creating a more inviting atmosphere for our students. A huge shoutout to all the parents and guardians who volunteer on the School Council for working with Alberta Health Services, to secure this Grant — this is also thanks to Naomi D. (G7 this year), Mr. Yuswak, Jane from YCC and Constable Dave for writing why Sherwood should upgrade our basketball systems. It’s exciting to see our students enjoy these facilities. Ms. Wiltsey and her art class have also contributed by helping pick colours for the school, designing an updated logo (see it near the office and on the court) and selecting some vibrant art and quotes that add a creative touch to our school spirit. Finally, kudos again to the School Council, Calgary City Community Improvement team and the Grade 4/5 Ever Active project for enhancing the school steps and installing playful animal-themed traffic calmers near the playground, adding both safety and charm. Additionally, we're grateful to the Milican-Ogden Community Association for supporting our safety efforts by inviting parents to use their parking lot during drop-offs and pickups. I could not wait to showcase these improvements so please see the attached pictures and thanks to everyone for your continued support.

Farewells: At the end of the year, it's always bitter-sweet, on one hand, sad to say goodbye and, on the other, exciting to think of new opportunities for incredible people.

We thank Mr Winn sincerely for making a difference and wish him all the best in his new adventure.

| "So often you find that the students you're trying to inspire are the ones that end up inspiring you." — Vicky Davis Thank Yous As this school year comes to an end, we would like to recognize our entire school community for their continued commitment to excellence: - To our teachers and staff, thank you for all the work you put in day by day, and for the love, care and compassion you show your students;
- To our parents, thank you for your support and dedication to your children;
- To the School Council, thank you for helping us nurture student learning through fundraising and volunteering;
- And last but not least, to our students, thank you for your engagement and willingness to go the extra mile in your learning; we are very proud to have shared this journey with you. Big congratulations to all of you for a successful year and to the grade 9 Graduates; I'm confident we have prepared you well for the challenges that await you in High School; remember to always believe in yourself, work hard, be kind and shoot for the stars! We look forward to meeting all our new students joining us at Sherwood from Banting and Best and Riverbend Schools alongside our families who have moved into the community. We would also like to wish students in grades 4 to 8 who are leaving Sherwood all the best at their new school, whether it be another school in Calgary or elsewhere.

Farewells At the end of the year, it's always bitter-sweet, on one hand, sad to say goodbye and, on the other exciting to think of new opportunities for incredible people. This year we say farewell to some outstanding temporary teachers covering long-term leaves this year. Ms Toews, Mrs Saunders, Ms Eyk, Ms Blayways, and Mr Marcus, we cannot thank you enough for your commitment to students this year, you will be greatly missed, and we wish you all the best in your continued work with the CBE, maybe we'll see you in our halls and classrooms next year! We wish you all the best, and on behalf of the students at Sherwood, I thank you sincerely for making a difference.
And remember, once a Sherwood Archer, always a Sherwood Archer!
Congratulations This upcoming year we welcome Ms Doyle back, and Ms Shields will be moving back into the Student Services Learning Leader role. Huge thank you to Ms Shields, who worked tirelessly this school year supporting both the Assistant Principal and Student Services roles. And we're thrilled to welcome Julie Paxman into our LEAD position; Julie has a wealth of experience and joins us from Buchanan School. We're also happy to welcome back Mrs Tanner after her time with her beautiful youngsters. We look forward to seeing Mrs Tanner light up our hallways this September.
Programming Changes In addition to welcoming a new LEAD program at Sherwood next year, we will be making some other minor adjustments. Since April, we have been discussing reconfiguring our elementary classes to include some thoughtfully created Grade 4/5 and 6/7 split classes. We discussed students who would benefit from a 4/5 split and those who would benefit from a 6/7 split. We have decided to carefully watch summer enrollments and determine options for best fit and class numbers at the end of August. However, at this time, we feel we may be going ahead with this change in the fall.
We have also made some slight changes to the daily schedule. We plan to shorten our scheduled nutrition break time and embed movement breaks for elementary into staggered and homeroom-facilitated teacher plans. These supervised breaks will be taken each day at the teacher's discretion between periods 2 and 3. Having these breaks facilitated in this way will provide improved supervision for elementary students. We have also decided to have a soft start between 8:10-8:15 to allow the school to coordinate a before-school snack.
Important Dates for Next School Year The office will reopen at 8 am on August 29th. Teachers will return on August 28th for the first three days of meetings and organizational times in preparation for the school year. New Student Orientation (Grade 4s, Grade 7s and all new students) is on Thursday, August 31st, from 8:10 am to 2:50. Students will be greeted with an assembly in the Gym and then head off to their classes. We will welcome the rest of our students on Friday, September 1st, at 8:10 am. Please view our website for further information over the summer months.
School Hours 8:10 am – 2:50 pm Monday to Thursday 8:10 am – 12:30 pm Friday dismissal Lunch hour 11:39 – 12:19 pm
On behalf of the staff at Sherwood, we wish you a safe, peaceful and enjoyable summer with family and friends.
Best Wishes,
Dr Munroe, Mrs Doyle, and the entire Sherwood staff Go Archers! #SherwoodStrong #StrongerTogether #ArcherProud

| “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” – Brian Herbert
Dear Archer Families,
As we begin Semester 2, I congratulate you on successfully completing your first semester! New families, you've now experienced how quickly a semester goes by and might be thinking about how to manage time! I appreciate that we all take time to relax, but I also encourage you to build strength in academic learning. As you're looking over report cards next week and thinking about where you want to see your child progress next, try to consider what is in your control and take control.
Today is officially Family Literacy Day and an excellent day to think about your home environment and community resources that could contribute to your student's success. Talking about homework assignments and projects, spending time reading together, cleaning out backpacks and binders, and generally promoting active learning by reading recipes, making shopping lists and researching shared interests all contribute to student success.
Things to consider: Have you set up a distraction-free learning space, and are you doing homework with your child for a set amount of time each night? Have you connected with your child's teacher or the resource team at school, picked up a free library card from the public library or reached out to the Youth Center of Calgary Ogden or another enriching activity group to see how they can support learning? There are all kinds of connections to be made with arts and athletics that stimulate learning and build stamina within the school and the community.
When students and adults work together to create a supportive learning community, we drastically improve the quality of life and well-being of students, families and staff.
We are so happy that we can be together in person this year and continue our work to support our Sherwood students. There is a huge power in our coming together and being in person to learn. We are truly grateful for the connections we have made with our families this school year, and we look forward to what the next semester will bring for us all.

We wish good luck to Ms Tanner who will be spending time with family next year.
Programming Changes Since April, we have been discussing the possibility of reconfiguring our grade elementary classes to include some carefully configured Grade 5-6 split classes. We discussed grade 5 students who would benefit from a 5/6 split and a 4/5 split. We have decided to carefully create Grade 4 pure classes and Grade 5/6 splits both, providing options for best fit and bringing the class numbers across all elementary classes to 25 students. We will be going ahead with this change in the Fall.
Also, in the Fall, we will be implementing some of the Provinces' new subject curriculums, Grade 4-6 English Language Arts, Mathematics and Physical Education. We look forward to immersing ourselves in these resource updates and making connections to where we are already in alignment.

| Last week was an emotional one for me, I was so honoured with the amazing celebration that each grade group put together for me; speeches, funny stories, songs from the choir, cards, posters and so much more shared from our Sherwood Students. While it is very hard to be leaving, my heart is full with the kind words and actions of these incredible students. Sherwood students and staff are doing some incredible work and I am proud to have been a part of this story. Tonight I had the honour to have one last meeting with the Sherwood School Council and Parent Society, the ongoing supports for Sherwood have made a difference for students and staff alike. Sherwood is like a family with a history that spans back generations, thank you for inviting me in to be a part of this family. Saying goodbye is never easy, so instead I say farewell as you never know where our paths will cross again. Thank you Sherwood for all of the memories and learning along the way. I know you will do great things!
Mrs. Kohan

| We are seeking parent input on some important planning pieces for Sherwood. Each year, schools do planning work to improve and support student learning. During this week’s School Council meeting, we shared information about our School Development Plan, school fees and budget planning. Parent feedback is important as we consider school planning. When students, parents and school staff work together closely, students achieve greater success in their learning. We are asking for your feedback for the 2022–2023 school year. Please complete the Survey, sent through School Messenger.
Ms. Patricia Kaiserseder, an experienced retired principal, will be in the role of Acting Principal until a new candidate can be hired. If you have not yet shared your input for Sherwood's new principal, this survey is still open and the information will be shared with the new principal once they are hired: Input for New Principal.

| January was definitley a speedy month that brought with it many chalenges and many successes. While the COVID Omicron variant took a toll on us all, we were so happy to be able to begin Basketball. While we may not be able to play other schools this season, our "in-house" teams are gaining skills and strategies and have had a lot of play time thanks to the generous donation of time from all of our amazing Sherwood Coaches. We hope that as we head into February we are able to continue to support our Archer teams with court time. February came in with a chill for sure! Please let us know if you are looking for any warm clothing to help make it to spring. This month also brings Teachers' Convention and the Family Day holiday, semester 2 for our enhancement options and a fresh start after our January assessment period ended with report cards. We look forward to sharing more with you in the weeks to come. Remember to check out the Archer Arrow weekly for updates.

| Dear Sherwood Archer Families, We’ve made it to Break! It has been a very interesting year-we continue to wear masks and use hand sanitizer hundreds of times a day. With cohorts continued and classrooms as homes, we added some sports (#GoArchers, #ArcherProud) with volleyball games. We are so happy that we are able to be together in person this year and continue our work to support our Sherwood students. We have had many changes with so many Sher-Babies added to our family this year and this has provided the opportunity to add many new faces to our Sherwood team.
Connection … “Connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” – Brené Brown
We are truly grateful for the connections we have made with your children and with all of our families this school year and we look forward to what the new calendar year will bring for us all. From all of us at Sherwood School, we wish you and your families a wonder-filled holiday. Whatever your winter break traditions are, we hope you are able to take time to enjoy a little quiet, the sparkle of the snow, some laughter and cheer, remember to be kind to yourself and each other. Most important of all, take time to rest and rejuvenate so we can hit the ground running as we head into a new calendar year. We wish you all the best of the season and a Happy New Year. Here is to incredible things for us all in 2022. This holiday season and winter break to take care of yourselves and each other. So… “Tag! You're It Sherwood families!". Wising you all a safe and happy holiday season and winter break. Tracy Kohan Principal, Sherwood School

| Hello Sherwood Families!
We Made it through a COVID-19 year! It is hard to believe that the 2020-2021 school year is over.Congratulations to all of our Sherwood students for an amazing year! There were so many ups and downs, from; online to in-person learning, computer loans, paper copies, D2L, Google Classroom, Bongo, Google Meets, working from home, masks, cohorts, sanitizer, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and our go to tagline of the year, “PIVOT”! At some points during the year we weren’t sure we would ever make it to the last day of school … we made it!
A special and heartfelt congratulations to all of our incredibly strong Grade 9 students who spent their last year at Sherwood living through the most unusual of circumstances and challenges and yet came out stronger than ever. We are so very proud of your perseverance. One of the things I always think of at this time of year is the meaning of Farewell …It is not a goodbye, there is no finality to the word but a notion that there is a future connection to be made … Every ending is the start of a new beginning – an opportunity for change, new adventures and a chance to re-invent yourselves. Once an Archer, always an Archer! We can’t wait to hear about the amazing things you will do! I wish you the best. Best of luck and congratulations!
To all of our Sherwood families, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts – we know that this year had challenges beyond the constant uncertainty of school for many of you and we wish you all a healthy and safe summer. We look so forward to hearing about your summer adventures when we return September 1, 2021.
Stay Well, Stay Safe Archers #StrongerTogether #SherwoodStrong #ArcherProud #BraverTogether #StayStrongArchers
