Welcome to Sheridan Elementary School, home of the Sharks! Sheridan Elementary School, located at 3100 Plymouth Avenue in Lincoln, Nebraska, serves scholars in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. Our school opened in 1926 and was named for its proximity to Sheridan Boulevard. The Sheridan mascot is the shark and our school colors are blue and yellow.
Sheridan Elementary School’s talented staff is committed to making school a positive experience for our students. Our priority is student learning. We work to ensure every student is challenged to achieve or exceed grade level, district, and state expectations. We will provide ALL students with rigorous instruction that challenges their full potential.
At Sheridan, we create a caring, safe, and productive learning environment that promotes high levels of student engagement and effort. There are three school-wide expectations for behavior at Sheridan Elementary School: Be safe, Be respectful, Be responsible. Community partners, Sheridan families, and staff worked together to create an Outdoor Classroom on our school’s campus. This exciting space creates new learning opportunities outside the classroom walls and beyond the school day.
The Sheridan staff values parents as partners in the educational process, and we welcome them as members of our school community. We are very fortunate to have an incredible Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.) that works in collaboration with students, families, staff, and the Lincoln community to enrich curricular and extracurricular experiences for all Sheridan students. They are an amazing group, so be sure to check out the Sheridan PTO website on the parent tab located at the top of the home page. If you are interested in before and/or after-school care, Family Services provides that service at Sheridan. Please contact Family Services at 402- 441-7949 for information on cost, schedule, and programming.
We invite you to become an active, positive, and collaborative partner in the Sheridan School Community. Please explore the Sheridan website to learn about our school and reach out if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Ashley Sitzman
