Staff and parents are committed to providing the best educational opportunities for students at Sheridan. Sheridan has 421 students in ECSE through grade 6 including five per cent minority students. Twelve per cent of Sheridan's student population are from low income families. The culture of Sheridan parallels the culture of our client population, making parent partnerships easy to develop and maintain. Sheridan staff views parents as valuable assets in the joint education of students.
Parents often visit and volunteer in the school.
They want to know how their children are progressing and what they can do to support their education. Frequent newsletters and conferences keep communication open between the school and parents and assist in empowering parents with the educational process of their children. An active parent teacher organization helps support students and teachers with their time, interest, creative ideas and financial support for materials.
