Sheridan Elementary School

My son has been in special education pre-​K at Sheridan for a year and a half now and it has been absolutely amazing. The staff at Sheridan treats us like family, they care for the children a tremendous amount and we couldn’t be happier. Ms Carmen Ausserer is by far, the most empathetic and caring teacher I have ever met (and most likely, will ever meet). She texts me when the school bus is late so I won’t get worried, she sends home a note in my son’s backpack every day where she writes if and what he ate for lunch, she sits down with me every month for monthly check-​ins and the list goes on. She is spectacular! And the things she doesn’t know about Autism, is probably not worth knowing. When my son started in her classroom he was 3.5 yrs old and didn’t speak at all, nor did he have receptive language, he now speaks in 3 – 4 word sentences and is really good at picture exchange as a way of communication. Ms Carmen is extremely intelligent and creative and my whole family adores her, we are forever grateful for her compassion and guidance.

One of the most differse school communities in the Bay Area for both staff and students. Quiet halls and student work everywhere you turn. Amazing teaching in each grade and it is clear that the children are expected to achieve and they do!

Sheridan Preschool has the best Special Ed program in the city!!!
The teachers and assistants are very involved and dedicated to every child in the classroom. Our 4 year old son loves Ms. Sabrina’s singing and playing guitar every day. Ms. Nocedal goes out of her way to make sure that kids strive to achieve their goals. Both of the teachers have structured programs and they are both very caring, using individual approach to cater to every child’s needs. The teachers and assistants provide usefull tips and help work on the same goals that parents are working at home.
We are very fortunate to find this Preschool as this has become a second home for our child. We would like to THANK ALL OF THE TEACHERS AND AIDS: MS. SABRINA, MS. NOCEDAL, CLARISSA, KHIN, ROSIE, NAZARETH, CHASE, and DONN FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!
Also, special thanks to the principal Dina for putting up a new fence to ensure safety for the kids!
Sheridan is an exceptional school because of all of the caring teachers that gives the kids their all. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH! WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE TEACHERS LIKE YOU!!!

Sheridan is a hidden gem of a public school in SFUSD! The campus is lovely, there are special PE, Art, and music classes, a school librarian, and a very dedicated staff. The children seem happy and peaceful while they are getting a great education.

Wondeful auditorium, Awesome library, Creatively designed classrooms. Topped off with a liqour store in view of the playground, 16 year old getting cuffed for selling drugs, gang activity in the park, police sirens, OH NO YOU DIDNT being yelled while teaching about peace in the middle east.
I love you Sheridan, you are the best of the both worlds.
