EEIFam: We have been informed by our electrical provider that it will take longer to restore power to the EEI campus than originally estimated early this morning. At this time, we do not know when power will be restored. Our campus will remain open, and we will still provide lunch. However, you may pick up your child early if you prefer to do so. If you pick up your child early, please have your Photo ID ready at the front office. If you need to reach us, please call (501) 888-8937.

Below are links to the survey in English and Español. We encourage you to provide your feedback by completing the survey before Nov. 20.

EEI Families: Now that both our virtual and onsite students have begun using the Canvas Learning Management System, it's time for parents to create an Observer account in Canvas. With an Observer account, you can track your student's learning progress and receive messages from his/her teachers. To get started, you will first need to log into your student's account. If your student does not know his/her account information, please call our front office. Tap on the parent video below for step-by-step instructions. Parent Video - https://youtu.be/o9_8Pcu5QGg Also, the Sheridan School District is now accepting applications for Verizon Internet hotspots from households within the district that do not have access to the Internet.

EEI Families: We wanted to take a moment to say a few things about the Canvas Learning Management System. Students will access their online work through the Canvas LMS. For Virtual (online) students, all of their announcements, assignments, teacher communications, etc. will happen through this platform. For Blended (onsite) students, teachers will provide face-to-face instruction and activities, as well as online assignments and communications through Canvas. Students can access Canvas at http://sheridanschools.instructure.com/login/saml and log in with their school Google account username and password. Virtual Students: You should have received your username and password at Chromebook Pick Up. Blended Students: Your teacher will provide you with your login information at school. We will send more information about how parents can monitor their student’s progress in Canvas soon. For helpful Canvas tutorial videos, go to https://bit.ly/32h9ooX.
