Lock-Down Drills The first week in October 2016, our District will participate in lock-down drills at all seven school buildings. Sherwood High School’s drill will be held on Wednesday, October 5th starting at 9:40 a.m. During the lock-down, staff and students are secured within their individual classrooms/offices and there is no movement in the building. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the campus until the drill has been completed. Schools will have drills on different days and/or times so Sherwood PD, administrators, and staff have the opportunity to observe and offer feedback.
