Bussing

Students who are registered for the school bus the pull away time from Sherwood after school is 3:00pm. If your student normally takes the bus after school, please make sure you contact the office before pull away time to notify us of any changes to that routine, such as they are being picked up or are walking home. If your student is registered for the bus but will not be using the service, please cancel in your Parent PowerSchool account, and notify the office. 

Terry Fox School Run

This year’s campaign, called #NoMatterWhat celebrates Terry’s determination and persistence. When running his Marathon of Hope in 1980 he faced many challenges along the way, but he kept going – no matter the obstacles, no matter the journey, no matter the odds - NO MATTER WHAT. We know that schools coast to coast to coast will carry on his legacy to raise funds for cancer research and display their amazing “NoMatterWhat” efforts for this year’s Run.
