The Sheridan School District is seeking bus drivers. The pay is $20-$28 per hour with benefits such as paid sick and personal leave, and retirement. Health insurance is also available. The district will provide training, pay for the cost of your CDL exam and background check, and offers free physicals. And once you're hired, the district will reimburse for hours spent training. It's a great part-time job! #YJNation

The Sheridan School District will be open for regular school hours on Tuesday, Jan. 14. We have continued to monitor driving conditions, and most roads throughout the district are clear. In a few areas where side-roads may still be unsafe, some buses will run an altered “snow route” Tuesday morning only. If you have a bus rider, click here to see which routes are affected for the morning, and instructions for each: https://shorturl.at/qOSis. Again, the safety of our students and staff are our top priority.
Due to hazardous road conditions in some areas of the district, the Sheridan School District will be closed on Monday, January 13. District administrators have carefully monitored road conditions throughout the day and, in the interest of everyone’s safety, have made the decision to close schools. We will provide further information in the coming days regarding how and when the missed school days will be made up. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. As always, the safety of our students, faculty and staff is our top priority.
The Yellowjacket boys played a great game last night, beating Hamburg 60-34 at home! Go Jackets! #YJNation

SSD families: Due to forecasted inclement weather that is projected to arrive during the school day tomorrow and continue into Friday, the Sheridan School District will be closed Thursday and Friday, Jan. 9-10. Our concern is the ability for students, staff and buses to safely travel home if the snow begins to accumulate immediately. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The Sheridan 7th-8th-9th grade boys' and girls' games against Robinson, originally scheduled for Thursday, have been cancelled.
The Sheridan School District wishes you a New Year filled with new hopes, new joys and new beginnings. May 2025 bring you endless happiness and success! #ChooseJoy

Statement from Chad Pitts, Superintendent of the Sheridan School District:
The Sheridan School District has recently been working closely with the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to implement Rave Alert, a widely-used emergency notification system designed to help keep our schools and communities safe. Earlier this morning, during an initial test of the system, an error occurred. A test notification that was intended for only a small group of five individuals was mistakenly sent to a larger number of school employees across various parts of the District.
We understand the confusion and concern this may have caused, and we sincerely apologize for any distress this situation may have created. Both the Sheridan School District and the Office of Emergency Management are actively investigating the cause of this error and are taking immediate steps to ensure that it does not happen again in the future.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are our top priority, and we remain committed to maintaining transparent communication as we work through this matter. Thank you for your understanding.
