Here's a shout out to Mrs. Todd's Class. Mrs. Todd says she misses seeing all your smiling faces. #YJNationInThisTogether #MissYouMonday
These students are connecting to school internet in one of our parking lots for distance learning! #YJNationInThisTogether
Virtual Spirit Week starts today with Miss You Monday! Share a picture or a video of yourself giving a shout out to a friend or teacher! Use the hashtag #YJNationInThisTogether!
Join us on Thursday, April 23 to show appreciation for our health care workers and first responders who are on the frontlines battling the coronavirus to care for the sick.
We'd love to see social media flooded with pictures of people showing support by either wearing the color red or displaying a red ribbon or scarf on a pole or tree in their front yard. If you don't have a ribbon or scarf just use any red material you can find. There is no need to buy anything.
Use the hashtag #YJNationInThisTogether, and we'll share your posts!
SSD Families: We are extending the due date to submit AMI Packets (Days 2 - 10). Please mail, email, or place in the drop boxes by 3 p.m. on Monday, April 20. The drop boxes are located at the front entrance of each campus, from 8 AM - 3 PM.
Please join us for Virtual Spirit Week next week, April 20 - 24! Look closely at Thankful Thursday. We would like to see the entire #YJNation show support for health care workers and first responders who are on the frontlines battling the coronavirus to care for the sick. Use the hashtag #YJNationInThisTogether, and we'll share your posts throughout the week!
SSD Families: We understand that many of our families still do not have power in their homes. We will continue to provide lessons to best of our ability; however, these lessons are optional until power has been restored. We do not want this school work to add to your worries. These lessons are intended to provide a sense of normalcy for our students and to serve as a resource for those families who have power and want to continue with school work.
SSD Families: Beginning today, our Grab-&-Go meal service in Sheridan has been moved from SES to SHS. The drive-thru will be in front of the Yellowjacket Arena. For East End, meals can still be picked up at EEM. If you need meals delivered to your home because you are unable to pick them up at SHS or EEM, please call the transportation office at 870-942-5522.
SSD Families: Due to widespread power outages and storm damage throughout our district, online instruction has been cancelled for today, April 13. We are also unable to prepare/deliver meals today.
We have set up Safe Learning Zones at each of our campus parking lots -- with the exception of SMS due to construction -- so that SSD families can park in our parking lots for students to access our school Internet for digital learning. You will not need a password to access our Guest Access WiFi. Remember to practice social distancing. Our facilities will remain closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but you can still call the offices M-F, from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. We are working to set up additional Wifi hotspots throughout our district. We will announce those locations next week.
SSD Families: You have received this message because you reported to us on our 2nd Technology Survey that you do not have a device at home for distance learning. We will distribute Chromebooks on Thursday, April 9. You can pick up your assigned Chromebook at the Yellowjacket Arena from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Please pull in through the student pick up/drop off lanes as shown on the maps at the link below. This will work like a drive-through. Please STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE. We will bring the Chromebook(s) to you. https://bit.ly/2JNKUuN

SSD Families: We have received some questions about April 10, which is a built-in make up day on our calendar. We will continue to observe April 10, as a NO SCHOOL day. All offices and campuses will be closed. We will not serve meals on Friday, but we will provide 2 days of meals for breakfast and lunch on Thursday, April 9.
We'd like to give a big shout out to our Tech Team and other staff who have worked hard over the past two weeks to get Chromebooks out to families who need a device for digital learning. We set up a drive-thru at SHS yesterday and at EEM today for families to check out Chromebooks. Starting next week, families will be able to call our IT department for tech support. #InThisTogether
SSD Families: We are sending out the Technology Survey for a 2nd time to reach families who either did not respond to the 1st survey or realized their household electronic devices would not be available for their children to use for distance learning. If you already picked up a device or you already have a device at home, there is no need to complete this survey. Tap the link to take the survey. https://bit.ly/2UGt57e
SSD Families: We are temporarily closing all Sheridan School District playgrounds in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 within our community. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
