SSD Families: Thank you to everyone who completed our Technology Survey. The Sheridan School District is finalizing the logistics of providing a more interactive and engaging method to provide distance learning for our students during this extended closure. Additionally, you might have heard that the Arkansas Department of Education has partnered with Arkansas PBS to support school districts with “Arkansas AMI” for grades PreK - 8. While Arkansas PBS will be a great supplemental tool for parents to access for their students, it will not replace the Sheridan School District’s AMI plan. We will send more information about our AMI plan by the end of the week.

Dear Class of 2020, First off, we want you to know that we love you! The entire #YJNation is proud of your hard work, accomplishments, and perseverance. Like you, we are disappointed with the way your senior year is coming to a close. We recognize that you will be missing out on many memories due to the school closure, and we feel for you! Many of you have asked about how the school closure will affect prom and graduation. At this time, all we know for certain is that these two events will be postponed. As you are probably aware, we receive new information and guidance regarding COVID-19 from our government every day. We will monitor the situation closely and stay in contact with you as we know more. Be assured that no matter what the future holds, we will celebrate you and all that you mean to #YJNation! Sincerely, Superintendent Jerrod Williams

SSD Families: REMINDER Please tap on the link below to take a brief technology survey. 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. Parents with more than one child enrolled in Sheridan Schools should complete a survey for EACH STUDENT. http://bit.ly/2QsYfwi

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. http://bit.ly/2QsYfwi

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.

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: 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.
