Hello Sherwood Families, I have certainly appreciated your patience during these unprecedented storms and the amount of snow that we have received at the school site. We have been trying each day to get the site open and each day we encounter another storm and/or unsafe icy road conditions. I consider myself to always be transparent and accountable, frankly I thought we would be able to get open last week. I miscalculated and for that I apologize. I am sure that many of you are concerned about our students being away from their learning environment for an extended amount of time and I completely agree with you. I am working on a plan for an alternate site in town and we are working to clear the significant amount of snow dropped last night on the site. Thank you again and I hope that the sun stays out, and we get some rain. I also hope that all of you are safe. Thank you, Mr. Beebe

Good morning Sherwood Families, Sherwood School will remain CLOSED today, March 8, 2023. We are sorry for the continued inconvenience this may be causing your families. Please stay safe. Thank you, Mr. Beebe
