CKH THEME OF THE MONTH - EMPATHY CKH THEME OF THE MONTH - EMPATHY

What is empathy?

Empathy is the ability to be aware of, understand, and be sensitive to another person's feelings. Instead of focusing on how these feelings impact ourselves, empathy motivates us to focus on others and respond with care and compassion.

Why focus on empathy?

  • Empathy strengthens communities. Empathy helps students strengthen their relationships with classmates, other students, and adults at school, and at home.

Empathy in Action

  • Put aside judgement. Take a pause, and rather than express conclusions about a situation bsed on what you see, step back and consider other things you may still need to know or understand.

VOLUNTEERING AT SMS VOLUNTEERING AT SMS

We appreciate all of our families that choose to volunteer at SMS. We are able to do more for our students because we have your help! There is a new process for volunteering at SMS that requires two steps. This process is not required for a parent attending a field trip, but it is if they are asked to chaperone.


Step 1: The volunteer must have an Arkansas State Police Volunteer background check.


The form linked here must be completed, notarized, and accompanied with an $11.00 payment to Sheridan Schools, preferably by check. The form and money can be dropped off at the front office. Background checks are good for 5 years.


Step 2: The volunteer must complete a child maltreatment check through DHS.


This step can be completed on the link posted below. The cost is $11.00 and can be submitted electronically on their website.
