Sedgefield Middle has pulled off the hat trick! SFM is the only school in BCSD to have seen more than five percent growth on its 2025-2026 SC Ready ELA, SC Ready Math and SC Ready Science scores. Plus, out of all the middle schools in BCSD, SFM had the highest growth, 7.5 percent, on the SC Ready ELA test! To recognize these tremendous accomplishments, district officials treated both SFM students and staff to ice cream.

Hello, SFM Families and Guardians,

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I am writing to address a concerning increase in students using cell phones to cheat on assignments and assessments.

Students are expected to follow our cell phone policy and complete their own work. Using a phone to cheat compromises the integrity of an assessment and prevents teachers from seeing what a student has learned and where they need support. We will not tolerate this behavior. Moving forward, any student found using a phone to cheat will face consequences in accordance with school and district policies.

Our teachers work hard to prepare students for success in ELA, math, science, social studies, and the next grade level. I will discuss this concern further during Coffee and Conversation.

Parents and guardians, please have an intentional conversation with your student about following the cell phone policy, doing their own work, and building strong character and work habits. Thank you for your partnership and support.

Your friendly neighborhood principal,
Dr. C

Hello, SFM Parents and Guardians, Today, I am delighted to celebrate one of our students, Za’nae Campbell, who earned a perfect score in English Language Arts on the SC READY assessment. This is an exceptional achievement, and we are incredibly proud of her. With so much taking place around us, it is refreshing to pause and recognize the remarkable talent within the walls of Sedgefield Middle School. Za’nae is one of the many gems who walk our hallways, and I am honored that she is part of our school community. Congratulations to Za’nae and her family on this outstanding accomplishment. The sky is the limit for her! Warm regards, Dr. C

Good afternoon, Parents/Guardians,

If you have not provided a South Carolina immunization record to Nurse Coefield, please do so by Friday. If your 7th grader has not received their Tdap vaccine, please schedule an appointment to get it. Send the appointment confirmation to the nurse (coefieldb@bcsdschools.net). We will send letters home this week for students who do not meet grade-level immunization requirements, according to our records. Please update your child's record as soon as possible to avoid missed school time.

Thank you,

Dr. C
