THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR - COMPUTER DEVICES MUST BE RETURNED

 June 23, 2021

Dear Sherwood Family:

I would like to begin by thanking each and every one of you for an outstanding 2020-2021 school year.  It has been a wonderful year thanks to all of you for assisting with remote learning and making sure your children were online and engaged every day ready to learn and passionate about their education and their future. 

Thank you also parents for being outstanding educational partners who want their very best for their children.  Sherwood is a place that we are all so proud to be associated with and a school that is striving for excellence at all times thanks to all of you and our teachers and staff members.

The examples of what makes Sherwood so great are a lot but, I would like to highlight one great thing that took place this year.  Our attendance was lower than normally, but we were able to maintain over 90% of our children attending this school year. We thank  you for accepting our daily calls and understanding the importance of good attendance.  

My LAST URGENT REQUEST to all of you is to please return your devices this week to avoid a charge.  We need all devices and electrical cords returned ASAP and no later than this Friday. We are open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day this week and we need all of our CHROMEBOOKS, IPADS and CHORDS for each device returned to us this week. 

Please call your child's teacher or Mr. Brown or Ms. Larry to set up your time to come to school tomorrow please. 773-535-0829 dial zero.   This is very important and all devices must be returned if they have not been returned yet.  This includes students who are out of town.  Out of town families must return their devices securely and quickly this week.  Mr. Brown is in charge of all computers and electrical devices.  Please reach out to him directly if you have questions as well. His number is 708-288-9047.

Our uniform next year will continue to be purple or black tops and black bottoms for all of our students.  Our students will begin instruction at 9:00 a.m. and will end at 4:00 p.m.  Breakfast will be served in the classroom so, please do not arrive earlier than 8:55 a.m.   Safety procedures and protocols will continue to be in place next year, so early arrivals will not be allowed as in years past. This year our school year begins in August. School begins August 30.  2021 for all Chicago Public School students.  Please mark your calendars and continue to contact me personally at the number below.

Thank you again for a wonderful year and please check our website for updates throughout the summer at sherwood.cps.edu.  I will also be available throughout the summer and you can reach me on my cell phone at 773-848-4448 anytime. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything. 

Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Sincerely,

Alice Buzanis
