SIS News and Celebrations

Way to be helpful, accountable, and respectful! Great job!

Your child's safety is our top priority. We've recently observed an increase in students crossing busy roads unsupervised early in the morning to get to SIS. This poses a serious safety risk.

To ensure the well-being of all our students, we must ask that you use the designated carline for all morning drop-offs. Please do not drop students off across the street and allow them to walk across unsupervised.

Thank you for your immediate cooperation in keeping our students safe.

ID Required

Just a reminder-an ID is required to enter SIS for any reason. Thanks for helping keeps our kids safe!

Fourth and Fifth Grade students had an opportunity to visit the planetarium at SIS last week.

Dr. Kubesch and his Turkey Emmy Lou visited 3rd graders the Friday before Thanksgiving. 3rd graders learned about Turkey adaptations and pardoned Emmy Lou.

Blair Casey, a student at UAMS studying Audiology, spoke to 4th graders at SIS about audiology and how the ear works. Students were also able to take a look inside their ear. Blair attended SIS and graduated from Sheridan High School! We were glad to have her back on campus!

If your student rides a bus, please review expectations with them.
