A Message from the Principal |

Dear Sheridan Families,
The cold and short days of January are coming to an end.!!! February and Valentine's Day are right around the corner with longer daylight hours to look forward to and more snowy winter fun on our back playground. Thank you all for making sure each of our Sheridan Sharks show up to school prepared and ready with winter gear.
As a reminder, please have students charge their devices every night. Please make sure they bring their iPads and headphones to and from school daily. We are also finding that a lot of student devices are requiring updates and not running smoothly. The tech department is asking all students to perform a software update at HOME (if needed), as to better maximize their time at school. Thank you for your cooperation.
Have a wonderful and fun filled weekend!
Sincerely,
Susan
Ms. Susan Milsk

COVID-19 Testing Lab Update
As you may be aware, O’Hare Clinical Lab has been named in an investigation by IDPH and the Illinois Attorney General following complaints of ongoing delays in the delivery of COVID-19 test results.
In the past, our COVID-19 testing provider Ravinia Health has outsourced processing of District 67 and 115 COVID-19 tests to O’Hare Clinical Lab. Due to this history of delays and the current investigation, Ravinia Health will no longer outsource test processing to O’Hare Clinical Lab. Ravinia Health contracts with many other CLIA-certified laboratories across the country and is in the process of transitioning this work to Zenix Labs .
This transition will not affect the testing services that we are offering but may improve the speed with which those who are testing receive their results.
As always, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Michelle Shinn (mshinn@lfschools.net) with questions.
