Congratulations to the many students who received awards for the 1st Quarter. We love celebrating our students who are working so hard academically and behaviorally!

All grades can be accessed on Home Access Center (HAC): http://hac23.esp.k12.ar.us. HAC Parent Access Codes were sent home last week, which will allow all parents to login to view their child's grades. If you have any questions or do not receive your parent letter, please contact Dr. Williams at heatherwilliams@sheridanschools.org. Thank you!

Please see the attached link for the 2024-2025 Student Handbook. Please pay close attention to the cell phone policy, dress code policy, and attendance policy. If you have any questions, please contact the front office at (501) 261-6565.

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Hearing and Vision screens will continue through the rest of October and into November. Students still need to be up to date on their immunizations or provide an exemption letter.

The Reminders:

1. If your child needs a check-up, immunizations, or is sick our Jacket Health and Wellness Clinic is convenient and quick. For more information click the link Jacket Health or call (870) 484-4411 to set up an appointment..

2. If students wear glasses they must have their glasses on for the Vision screening or they will not be screened.

3. As we head into the holidays, please be mindful when buying candy or snacks for the school that the Sheridan School District is a peanut/tree nut free district.

4. If your child has a health condition, please inform the school nurse. We want to keep all our students safe and make sure they are receiving proper care while at school.

5. Please keep your child at home if they have a fever, vomiting, or have diarrhea. Students must be 24 hrs without fever or symptoms in order to return to school. Please also let attendance or the school nurse know.

Thank you and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
