Monthly Updates for Families
WELCOME BACK!
The 2019-2020 school year is upon us Sheridan Hill Shark families! On behalf of all the faculty and staff at Sheridan Hill, I would like to welcome you to what will be, I am sure, an exceptional school year filled with fun, learning, and new friendships!
I would like to formally welcome a few new faces to the building. Mrs. Chelsey Barter will be teaching 1st grade this school year while Becky Cieplinski is out on family leave. Miss Claire Green will be a new aide in the first-grade inclusion program. Please join me in welcoming them to the building!
Welcome Back Book Reading
Sheridan Hill School Hours
Students are welcomed into classrooms beginning at 7:55 am
Any student arriving between 7:30 am and 7:55 am will sit in the cafeteria.
School dismisses at 2:20 pm
All students being picked up by parents will go to the cafeteria at 2:20 pm. Parents, please bring a photo ID to pick up your child.
Morning Drop Off Procedures
Who should use the drop off zone?
People who are just dropping off students (not needing to escort them into the building or assist with large items to be carried in).
How can the drop off zone be run most effective?
Use a single file lane to drop off your child(ren)
Children should be ready to unload upon stopping
Make sure children exit curbside only
Drivers should stay in the car at all times
If assistance is needed, school personnel will help students exit the car
Where can I park when assisting my child in school?
Please park in a designated parking spot. Sheridan Hill offers three parking lots for guests to use when visiting the school. Please do not park in the drop off zone. It creates a hazard for students in the morning. Refrain from entering the bus loop during the times of 7:45 to 8:15 and 1:45 until 2:45 because it is reserved for buses to unload and load.
Thank you very much for your cooperation regarding this matter. Student safety and drop off process efficiency are important to start our day off right!

Coming Early? Running Late?
What if there is a change for the end of the day?
We recognize that there are times when you might need to pick up your child early from school or need to change their of placement for the end of the day. A note at the beginning at the beginning of the day is preferable.
We ask that you contact the school early in the day if you need to make a change to your child's after school routine. Please do not depend on voicemail or email communication with the teacher as they may not get a chance to check these forms of communication while working with children. Please contact the school office before 1:00 PM with the change request.
What if my child is absent?
