Sheridan Special Election Sheridan Special Election

Sheridan School District voters will decide in a special election on November 18 whether to extend the district’s current 36.0 millage rate for nine more years to fund several key facility projects—without increasing the tax rate. (The state mandates all districts have at least 25 mills; Sheridan has 11 additional mills set to expire in 2047 that would now be extended to 2056 if the proposal passes.) The district’s millage rate will remain at 36 mills regardless of the outcome of the election.

The extension would allow the district to use $11.5 million in state partnership funds to help build a new East End Elementary School, complete with a safe room shared with East End Middle School. Other proposed projects include a multi-use covered practice pavilion in Sheridan, safety and security upgrades across campuses (such as new cameras and signage), and districtwide renovations to bathrooms, flooring, and lighting.

On Friday, October 31st, Ms. Collin's 7th grade students participated in a Murder Mystery Whodunnit activity where they used context clues to determine which famous Halloween monster committed the crime. This hands-on lesson encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving as students applied inference and reasoning skills from the classroom to a real-world scenario.

Teamwork: Better Together

This month, our Capturing Kids’ Hearts word of the month is Teamwork. Throughout life, students will be part of many teams—on the field, in the classroom, at home, and in their communities. At Sheridan Middle School, we believe that success happens when we all work together. Our staff, families, and students form one team, united in supporting every student’s growth, learning, and success.

We truly love our students and are proud of who they are becoming. Every day, we strive to create a caring environment where they feel seen, valued, and encouraged to do their best. Together, we celebrate their victories, support them through challenges, and remind them that they are never alone on their journey.
