GOTR IS a group for girls in grades 3 or 4 at Sheridan. The groups practices 2 X a week after school. It is a great way to be with your friends, get in shape, and learn about yourself! At each practice there is a snack, warm-up activity, a physically active portion, discussion, and cool-down. All experience levels are welcome!

Due to the use of 5 emergency days, the last day of school for grades K-7 is now Friday, June 7. This will be a 1/2 day of attendance for students (Ch/Ev/Sh 8-11:00 am; DPM 8:35-11:35 am). And while we do not anticipate any additional changes, if they occur we will communicate this information to our families. View the updated District Calendar.

Over 800 K-4 graders enjoyed the Visiting Scientist academic enrichment program. Kindergarten, First and Second graders experienced a Mousetrap Machine Show which is a STEM assembly by Smarty Pants World that used balloons to demonstrate how five simple machines work: The Lever, The Wheel, The Pulley, The Inclined Plane and The Screw.

Third and fourth graders had workshops with the scientist with their classrooms. Third grade spent time with Steve Schindler of Reptomania and got hands-on with live reptiles and amphibians. Fourth grade learned about photosynthesis with "Gravity Greg" from Mad Science.

This program is organized by the APT and funded by a grant from the Spirit of 67 Foundation.

During winter months, always have your children dress for outdoor weather (coat, snow pants, gloves/mittens, hat, and snow boots). Read more information about weather and school closings here.
