Sheridan Way Elementary School
I have two english speaking daughters that attend Sheridan Way.They are both in English speaking classes. I feel that this school is too focused on using spanish for every event. Every awards assembly,holiday event,and graduation takes twice as long as it should being they have to say it in english and then again in spanish. This is very frustrating. Also I feel we should have more parents involved in doing fund raisers so we can have more experience with field trips. I live in the community near the school and dont want to send my children to another school. I Feel it needs some improvement.
