A Message from the Principal |

Dear Sheridan Families,
We are gearing up for showing all our love on Valentine's Day and here is picture of a few kindergartners admiring their Valentine's work this week! We know it has been a week filled with COVID Notifications so I just want to take a moment and thank you all for your support during this time. It is hard on everyone, and we truly appreciate your partnership. I am hopeful that at some point, you will be able to stop cringing every time you receive an email from my email address. We are in this together, and we will get through it together!
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 weekend!
Sincerely,
Susan
Ms. Susan Milsk
