Dear Sedgefield Middle School Families,
I hope you have had a wonderful and relaxing summer! It is hard to believe that the beginning of a new school year is right around the corner. I am excited to welcome our students and families back to Sedgefield Middle School for what I believe will be an outstanding year.
We have several positive changes taking place at Sedgefield this year, and I am especially excited to welcome our new staff members to our school family. They bring enthusiasm, talent, and a shared commitment to helping every student succeed.
As we prepare for a new year, I also want to celebrate a few accomplishments from last year. Together, we were able to:
Decreased our out-of-school suspension and expulsion rates.
Increased academic rigor in our classrooms.
Strengthened relationships by being more present throughout the school. I made it a priority to be visible in the hallways, parking lots, classrooms, and at school events because I believe relationships are the foundation of student success.
While I am proud of what we accomplished together, I am even more excited about what lies ahead. I have many ideas for this school year, and we will introduce them throughout the year at the appropriate time. I truly believe our best days are still ahead.
As we prepare to open our doors, I ask that all families complete New and Returning Student Registration as soon as possible. Completing registration early helps us properly plan for staffing, transportation, class schedules, and the overall organization of our school. Your timely response makes a tremendous difference, so please complete your registration at your earliest convenience.
One exciting new initiative this year is the creation of the Sedgefield Parent Transformation Team. This team will work alongside school leadership to strengthen our school community, support student success, improve school culture, and help create meaningful opportunities for our students and families.
Your voice matters, and we cannot do this work alone. Transformation happens when schools and families work together with a shared purpose. We invite you to help us shape the future of Sedgefield Middle School.
If you are interested in serving on the Sedgefield Parent Transformation Team, please complete the survey linked below. We look forward to building a team of parents who are passionate about helping make Sedgefield Middle School the very best it can be.

Hello SFM Families and Guardians,
As you know, new and returning student registration is taking place. If you have any questions regarding registration or any aspects of Sedgefield, please come to or contact the school. We would love to see you!
The number is 843-797-2620.
Thank you!
Dr. C
I hope you are having an excellent summer break and enjoying some sizzling summer weather! Whether you're spending time at the pool, the beach, or simply relaxing at home, please stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy the remainder of your summer.
As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, I want to send a friendly reminder regarding the state and district cell phone policy. As you know, we experienced multiple concerns last school year with students not consistently following the policy that was implemented by the state in January 2025. This year, the policy will be enforced consistently and with fidelity.
I encourage you to have a conversation with your child before the first day of school to reinforce these expectations. Your support at home is essential and will help us provide a safe, focused, and distraction-free learning environment for all students.
The policy states:
**During the school day, students are prohibited from accessing their personal electronic devices, unless authorized for classroom use. Students may not wear or access device accessories during the school day. Students must store their devices and device accessories in their lockers, backpacks, or as otherwise directed by the school district during the school day. School districts may also prohibit student possession of devices and device accessories on school property.**
Please note that this policy also applies to **Smart Watches,** **wireless earbuds, AirPods, and Bluetooth headphones**. Students may use **wired headphones** only when directed by their teacher for instructional purposes.
This policy is not new, and I respectfully ask for your partnership in helping your child understand and follow these expectations. Please know that my staff and I will enforce this policy consistently and will not make exceptions outside of those outlined by the district. I wanted to communicate these expectations well in advance so that families have time to prepare before the school year begins.
I am incredibly excited about the year ahead! Last year, we made significant strides in student achievement, behavior, and our overall school culture and climate. While there is still work to do, I am confident that, together, we will continue building on that success and make the 2026–2027 school year our best yet.
I look forward to seeing everyone at **Meet the Teacher Night** and welcoming our students back to **The New Sedgefield**!
Your Friendly Neighborhood Principal,
Dr. Ezra Cowan ("Dr. C")
Principal, Sedgefield Middle School
