Principal Sheridan Newsletter 12/1/24

Good morning Doss Families- 

I hope you’re feeling rested and ready to head back to school tomorrow. I really enjoyed having my kids home this week and spending time with my family, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

This Friday, Dec. 6th we are hosting a Parent Principal Coffee. The Murchison Middle School administration and counselor will join us to share a presentation on the 5th grade transition to Murchison Middle School. 

We are encouraging all to Enroll Austin – register your child for the 25-26 school year! It seems early to register for the next school year, but accurate enrollment numbers assist AISD with staffing allocations and budgeting. If you are interested in applying to the Doss Pre-K4 for 25-26SY, the application window opens April 1, 2025. 

Austin ISD invites families, staff, and community members to a virtual conversation about the district’s plan to reduce the $92 million deficit over the next three years. HERE is the information if you’d like to join the conversation. 

EMPATHY is our SEL word of the month. Empathy is understanding and connecting with other people’s feelings. Practicing empathy can help us grow strong relationships.

Have a wonderful week – 

Principal Sheridan
