Out of an abundance of caution and with the most significant impact of hazardous winter precipitation being between 6-10 a.m. today, the Sheridan School District will be closed today.
At this time, the Sheridan School District plans to be open and school in session tomorrow. However, with predictions of possible winter precipitation tomorrow morning, the district will not make a final decision until after 5 a.m. Parents should have an alternate plan for their students in case the district must make a last-minute decision to close or delay school based on the morning weather conditions.
