SSD Families: All Sheridan School District campuses will be closed tomorrow, Feb. 15, 2021, due to inclement weather. Students and staff will pivot to a virtual learning day. Students will access their assignments through Canvas. We understand our students will want to play outside in the snow tomorrow; therefore, we will have no LIVE instruction, and our teachers will give students at least three days to complete their virtual work. We hope you enjoy this time with your family. Stay safe and warm!
Note: P/T conferences for grades 6 - 12 will be moved to next Monday, Feb. 22 to be held the same day as the P/T conferences for grades PK - 5.
Our students get so excited when they earn tickets to pick out a book from the book vending machine! Students earn tickets when they are caught doing an act of kindness or going above and beyond in academics or behavior. #makeitcount #yjnation
SSD Families: Our school administrators and transportation staff have been driving routes and checking road conditions throughout our district this afternoon. Based on current road conditions, we have determined that all Sheridan School District campuses will be open tomorrow, Feb. 12, 2021, for students who need internet access or extra help. We will follow our regular Virtual Friday schedule.
Big thanks to our Dining Services Department for making sure our students have meals to eat while we are out of school due to the inclement weather! Here they are passing out meals to students before the students went home today! #makeitcount #yjnation
SSD Families: Due to inclement weather in the forecast, all Sheridan School District campuses will be closed tomorrow, Feb. 11, 2021. Students will pivot to virtual learning and access their assignments through Canvas. If you have a power outage or don't have internet access, just contact your teacher through email or Canvas when you are able. Our teachers will allow time for your student to make up the work. Please stay safe!
SSD Families:
There is a potential for inclement weather in the forecast for tomorrow. If in-person instruction is canceled due to weather conditions, we will notify you as soon as the decision is made. We will send you a text message, post it on our website and social media, and we’ll notify our local news stations. If onsite classes are canceled, we will pivot to virtual work on Canvas.
As a precautionary measure, we will be sending home frozen weekend meals with students today instead of tomorrow. These free meals will go home with students who have already signed up to receive them each week. Please understand this does not mean we are canceling school tomorrow. We have not yet made that decision. We just want to be sure these students have food to eat over the weekend in the event we must cancel.

Recipients of this award have achieved high female representation in #APCSP and/or #APCSA at their school, helping close the gender gap in the field of computer science. http://spr.ly/6181HbKZ9 #YJNation #makeitcount Photo 1: KARK interviews computer science students in April of 2019 about the app they developed called the Arkansas College Calculator.
