SSD Families: In a press conference this afternoon, the governor directed all Arkansas schools to remain closed through April 17 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. We will provide more information regarding alternative methods of instruction (AMI) to make up for these additional missed days. We'll send that information to you soon. We will continue to provide free Grab-and-Go lunches to children in our community during this closure, including the week of Spring Break. These Grab-and-Go meals will also include a breakfast for the following day.
SSD Families: School districts in Arkansas have been approved for up to ten days of alternative methods of instruction (AMI). Sheridan Schools is making preparations should distance learning become necessary beyond the ten days.
We are currently exploring options to incorporate more online instruction into our AMI plan; however, we realize not all students are able to complete assignments online. We are surveying all our parents to determine which households need access to internet and/or an electronic device such as a computer, smartphone, tablet or Chromebook.
Parents with more than one child enrolled in Sheridan Schools should complete a survey for EACH STUDENT. Please tap on the link to take the short survey by the end of the day on March 20. After that date, we will begin calling families who did not respond to the electronic survey. It is important we understand the needs of every student.

Congratulations to EEI student Jayden Harris for earning a 2nd place overall medal last week at the 3rd/4th grade regional chess tournament! We are super proud of you!
Free sack lunches are ready for kids today! Lunches will be served from 10:45 am - 12:15 pm at SES and EEM for all kids in our community. We’ll be serving Grab and Go lunches every day this week. This works like a drive thru. Someone will bring the lunches to you, so you don’t have to get out of the car.
SSD Families: We hope you and your family are doing well. We want you to know that we miss all of our students and will do what we can to meet the needs of our students while we are out of school. Our teachers have already started making calls to check on students and to see if anyone needs help with AMI packets. We understand that not everyone has access to a printer to print off AMI packets. If needed, you can call your school office to arrange a time to pick up your packets or have them mailed to you. Also, please call your school office if your child needs access to the school counselor and/or mental health services.

SSD Families: We are going to provide free lunches next week for students in our community. We are working out details now but will release more information tomorrow.
Pre-K Registration has been postponed due to school closure. We will announce the new date soon.
SSD Families: The governor has directed the Sheridan School District to close all campuses and cancel all school activities at the end of the school day until March 30 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The closure is due to presumptive cases in Saline and Grant Counties. Students will make up these days using alternative methods of instruction (AMI). We currently have four days of AMI packets available on our website (AMI Days 2 - 5). We will post the additional packets once they are developed. Tap on the link to find AMI packets Day 2 - 5: http://bit.ly/2GbjQ77. Please take precautions by following recommendations by the CDC and ADH and limit travel as appropriate.
