SES Families: As part of a coordinated response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Arkansas Department of Education in partnership with the Office for Education Policy at the University of Arkansas has developed a Parent/Guardian Survey to gather input from families throughout the state on what is working now and what may be considered for the future in education as it relates to the pandemic.
Below are links to the survey in English and Español. We encourage you to provide your feedback by completing the survey before Nov. 20.

SES 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: We will contact you on Monday to provide you with your login information if you don’t have it already.
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.
