Sherwood Forest challenges all students to reach their full potential.  The school environment is a safe one, and students are encouraged to make good choices by SOARing:  Showing Others Appreciation and Respect.

In addition to the system-wide "Commitment to Discipline for Learning" and classroom rules, Sherwood Forest has three school-wide rules:

We:
Come to school prepared to learn;
Keep hands, feet and objects to ourselves, and
Walk and talk quietly throughout the building.

Rules and consequences are framed positively; students are taught to make positive, appropriate choices.  Our school family recognizes and respects the dignity of every child.

Parents are frequent visitors to our school, where they enthusiastically serve as volunteers.  Sherwood Forest is both fortunate and proud to have a strong volunteer program.  Our business partners work hard, too, in their support of student achievement.  Sherwood's strong PTA  works to continuously support a variety of activities and programs, providing many of the "extra essentials" throughout our school.  Our parents and community provide dedicated "hands-on" assistance, as well as significant financial assistance for various program needs.

Classrooms are equipped with an interactive Promethean Panel (new in 2020), document camera, webcam and sound system. In addition to our main building and newer office/classroom building, classrooms are located in the pod (second grade) and 6 learning cottages (fifth grade).

Outdoor learning areas were enhanced in 2021 with new picnic tables and spaces for student learning and eating lunch. There are 2 courtyards and a hummingbird garden near the pod.

Students enjoy three separate playgrounds and a walking track on the upper level along with the lower open field.

Learning areas for specials include an Art Studio, Science Lab, Music Studio, Media Center  and Gym/Auditorium.
