Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the colder weather approaches, we want to remind families of the importance of sending students to school dressed appropriately for the season. Please be sure your child has a warm coat, hat, and gloves as temperatures begin to drop.
Students will go outside for recess regardless of clothing or temperature, unless it is raining. It’s important they are dressed warmly to stay comfortable and safe during outdoor time.
We understand that not all families may have access to cold-weather gear, and we also know that kids often choose to wear what they want, even if it's not the warmest option. Please just be aware that students will go outside in whatever they come to school wearing. If your child needs a warm coat and you are unable to provide one, let us know—we have a limited number available already here, but we will do our best to connect with community resources to help provide on if needed.
A few important reminders:
Thursday, October 23rd- Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for tomorrow from 3:30 to 7:00 PM. The Board Meeting will be held at 7:00 PM at Harding Grade School.
Friday, October 24th- No School, but there is PTO Trunk or Treat and Movie in the Park (Hocus Pocus) on Friday evening at Dusk!
Monday, October 27- Friday, October 31 is Red Ribbon Week (See the Attached Flyer for Dress up Days)
Wednesday, October 29- PTO Monster Pizza Day @ lunch and SHERIDAN'S FAMILY READING NIGHT from 6-7 PM
Friday, October 31- Halloween Parade is at 1pm. The route is the same. We will travel from the front of the building west down Si Johnson to Bushnell, we will then take a left onto Bushnell, a left onto church street, and into the back of the building. Parties will be 1:30-2:30 after the parade, please note that you need to be signed up with the classroom teacher in order to enter for classroom parties after the parade.
Attached is also a message from Harding Grade School about PM Preschool Openings starting in January! Please see the flyer for contact information

🪙 Classroom Coin Wars Are On! 🐾
A Note to Our Amazing Parents & Guardians
Keep rallying those pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters — our Classroom Coin Wars Challenge is under way, and we couldn’t be more excited!
This isn’t just a fun way for our students to compete and show their classroom pride — it’s also a chance for us to give back to an organization that has made a huge difference in our school: United Way. Thanks to their incredible support, we were able to welcome Ruby, our beloved therapy dog, into our school family. 🐶💙
Ruby has brought so much love, joy, and comfort to both students and staff — she’s truly become a star around here! United Way generously covers all of Ruby’s expenses, including vet care for the next two years, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
So now, we’re hoping to return the favor — and we need your help!
We’re inviting families to check couch cushions, clean out cars, raid the laundry room, or shake out those piggy banks for any spare change you’re willing to send in.
Every coin counts toward helping a wonderful organization that’s done so much for our school and our students. Let’s come together and show our appreciation — and maybe stir up a little friendly competition between classes while we’re at it!
Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our amazing school community. Let the coin wars commence! 💥💰🐕

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.
