Students in the JAG program at Sheridan High School participated in mock interviews where they practiced answering interview questions with local employers. Thank you to the community partners who helped interview the students and gave them real-world experience and feedback: RoofConnect - Angie Roberts, Brandi Phillips and Nathan Ware; FirstTrust Home Loans - Renee Harris and Britnie Carlise; and People's Bank - Jessica Brown.
United States Senator Tom Cotton visited with the entire eighth-grade class at Sheridan Middle School today. Senator Cotton was greeted by members of the SMS Student Council and members of administration and school board. The SMS band played as students filled the cafeteria. Senator Cotton spoke to the students about government, the importance of being engaged in your community and voting, and offered a few "life tips" or advice. He then opened the program for questions and stayed afterward for all who wanted their photo made with the Senator to do so. Thank you to Senator Cotton for taking time from your day for the visit! The students enjoyed it! #YJNation

The Sheridan High School JROTC competed in the Fort Smith Northside Rifle, Raiders and Drill competition. There were 20 schools that participated coming from Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The Drill Team took 2nd overall in the Armed Division and 3rd overall in the Unarmed Division. The Rifle Team finished in 7th place in the first competition the program has competed with rifles in 7 years. All teams worked hard and should be proud of their performance.
Mrs. Todd’s class is so thankful for our SROs and everything they do for our campus! #YJNation
This week two Sheridan High School seniors, Jackson Appleget and Peyton Raines, attended the All-State Music Conference in Hot Springs.

We are very proud of these students for their hard work, dedication, musicianship, and personal success!

The 2024-25 SSD School Calendar was approved by the district's Board of Education Monday night. The calendar was developed following input from parents, faculty and staff. This calendar will be similar to those of previous years, however, instead of counting days of instruction, this calendar will be based on minutes of instruction. The first day of school will be August 19 and the last day of school is scheduled to be May 23, the Friday before Memorial Day. There will be 173 total days of instruction (compared to 178 in a traditional calendar), and the school days will be slightly longer (8:00-3:20 instead of 8:00-3:10).
The Sheridan School Board approved this week a plan to add 10 minutes at the end of each school day -- beginning Monday, Feb. 19 -- for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year to make up three of the days that were missed due to inclement weather. (Beginning Monday, the school days will be 8:00-3:20, instead of 8:00-3:10.) The other two days that were missed will be made up on Feb. 16 and March 29, which were built into the original calendar as make-up days. Attached is the revised calendar for the 2023-24 school year.

Students in Mrs. Lewis' AP Psychology class enjoyed making "sock babies" to care for during their Developmental Psychology Unit. This ongoing project emphasizes child development, parenting styles, and role of parenthood as students provide 24-hour care to their "babies."
