Awards

Several students per classroom will be recognized at the end of the year awards assembly.  These students have been chosen because they consistently demonstrate excellence or growth in Reading, Math and/or Writing.

Students in grades 1-5, who perform at an accelerated level in math and English language arts, earn the recognition of ACADEMIC ALL-STAR.  In the spring, ACADEMIC ALL STARS take part in a special awards activity to commemorate their achievement.

Each year the President of the United States recognizes outstanding 5th grade students with the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence (gold seal) and the Presidential Award for Academic Achievement (silver seal).  The gold seal certificate is awarded to 5th grade students who are advanced in ELA and math.  Students receiving the Academic Achievement award have demonstrated outstanding growth and commitment to their studies and demonstrate a strong dedication to their education.  Students are presented with their certificates at the final Awards Assembly in June.

Sheridan and KCUSD present a $200 scholarship award to three outstanding fifth graders at the end of the year awards assembly.  This money will be redeemable upon evidence of future college enrollment.
