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.

Information regarding eligibility and other frequently asked questions is available under the "Dining" section on the district's website: www.sheridanschools.org. Paper applications are also available at the front office of each school in the district.


The Sheridan School District understands that children need healthy meals to learn. The district offers healthy meals every school day.
