Hello Sherwood Heights Families!
We are thrilled to welcome our new and returning students to Sherwood Heights Junior High for the 2025-26 school year! As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we want to make the course selection process as smooth as possible for everyone.
Important Dates:
- April 2 – Students will receive a printed copy of the Option Course Planning Sheet during grade-level assemblies.
- April 4–15 – We will visit elementary schools to introduce ourselves, share general information about Sherwood Heights, distribute printed copies of the Option Course Planning Sheet, and discuss option courses in more detail.
- April 21 – Deadline for submitting option course requests in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Course Selection Process:
Below, you’ll find details on the links and documents that will help guide you through selecting your student’s courses.
