SIS News and Celebrations

Congratulations! Great job Armani, James, and Jacob for going above and beyond at Sheridan Intermediate School! Keep up the good work!

SIS Parents:

Monday, January 9th, each student at SIS will receive a personal identification badge and lanyard to be worn each day at school. We have added these for safety and to streamline services such as cafeteria purchases, library check-out, transportation/bus riding, and event attendance.

• Students will be required to wear their badge each day to identify them as a student at Sheridan Intermediate School.
• Replacement badges will cost $5.00.
• Lanyards may not be changed. For safety, students need the breakaway lanyards.
• Please encourage your child to wear their ID badge daily.
• Thank you for your continued support of SIS.

SIS will take NWEA MAPS test this week. We have worked hard all semester, and now it is time for our kids to show us what they know! Please encourage them:

• to be confident
• be focused
• take their time!

Testing Dates:

Tuesday (1/10)Reading

Wednesday (1/11)- Math

Thursday (1/12)- Science

Due to the limited seating in the cafeteria, we are taking reservations during lunch at school. Please call Michelle or Katie at 870-942-7488 to make your reservation. We will take reservations one week at a time. One family per table, please.

Act with thoughtfulness

There is a pop tab collection bin located in the foyer of SIS. Ask friends and family to save pop tabs to help families of sick children. The grade level that collects the most pop tabs will get a reward. We will reward in December and May.
