Dear Families,

If you wouldn’t mind taking a moment to fill out these brief surveys, we would greatly appreciate it. The Village of Sheridan has applied for a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant to improve the bike and walkability to school.

Our goal is to gather helpful information from families and community members so we can make strong plans for adding accessible ramps and sidewalks throughout town. These improvements will help our walkers and bikers travel safely to school and stay off the roadways.

Your input is valuable in making this happen for our students and community.

We are excited to share some wonderful news — our school has welcomed a new four-legged friend to our community! Meet Ruby, our new therapy dog.

Ruby is a 10 week old gentle and loving English Doodle who will be working to support our students in a variety of ways. Research shows that therapy dogs can help reduce stress, promote emotional well-being, and encourage positive social interactions. We believe Ruby will bring comfort, smiles, and joy to our school each day.

Some of the ways Ruby will be involved include:

Providing emotional support during the school day
Participating in reading and literacy activities
Offering comfort to students during challenging times
Helping promote a calm and welcoming learning environment

Student participation in activities involving Ruby will always be supervised and optional. If you have any questions or concerns — including allergies or comfort levels around dogs — please let us know so we can make appropriate accommodations.

We can’t wait for you to meet Ruby and see the joy she brings to our students and staff!

Good Afternoon Guardians/Parents,

We understand that times are hard, prices are on the rise, and sometimes it is hard to know where our children's next meal is coming from. We are looking to help with that through the feed his children ministry.

Their motto is, "hope starts here."
This organization is going to work with Sheridan Grade School and Harding Elementary to send supplemental bags of groceries through the school system to families who need a little extra help once or twice a month. Whether you are in need temporarily or all year, we are here to help as much as possible. The families that are signed up will be passed along to the ministry and the school will offer the choice of parent pick up times or allowing the teachers to discretely place a bag with food items to take home up to twice a month. This information will be kept private and discrete.

If interested please take a moment to fill out this brief survey/form to let us know you are interested and we will touch base with you on more information as it comes in.. First deliveries are early September and will continue throughout the school year.

We are so excited to provide a chance to give back to the community and help ease a small burden by knowing our children will not go hungry.

Here is the link to the forms to sign up.
