3-20-2020 School Closure Update

Posted by Alan Boucher on 3/20/2020

Earlier today, Governor Pritzker issued an executive order requiring residents to “stay at home” beginning Saturday evening. As part of the Governor’s order, he announced that school will remain closed with a new school start date of April 8.

Because of the tighter restrictions, it will now be difficult to reach school officials using the phone. Families are encouraged to email the staff persons individually, or send an email to contactus@sherrard.us.

We have received a lot of positive feedback about the e-learning program. We will continue to provide lessons and activities during the rest of the shutdown. Structure and predictability will help the students maintain emotional health. Please email your child’s teachers if you have questions.

The sack meal program will continue. The number of participants has grown each day. The meals are free and all the students may participate regardless of family income. Email Marla Miller if you would like to sign up. Her email address is millerm@sherrard.us
