Hello, SFM Families & Guardians,
As you are aware, testing season is quickly approaching. I want to share two important points: our upcoming testing dates and the importance of student attendance during high-stakes testing.
Our state assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and growth throughout the school year. For students to perform at their best, it is essential that they are present, on time, and prepared on each testing day.
Please review the testing schedule below:
* **May 5** – Reading Assessment
* **May 6** – Writing Assessment
* **May 12–13** – Math Assessment
* **May 14** – Science Assessment (**6th-grade students only**)
I also want to stress the importance of student attendance during these testing dates:
* State assessments provide us with a clear picture of where students stand academically.
* Students cannot demonstrate what they know if they are absent.
* Consistent attendance and punctuality help students build strong habits that support long-term success.
* When families and schools work together to prioritize attendance, students are better positioned to achieve their best outcomes.
To encourage and celebrate student commitment, I will also provide incentives to students who attend all testing dates.
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring our students' success. Together, we can make this testing season a positive and rewarding experience for all.
Warm regards,
Dr. C

I apologize for the miscommunication.

Hello, SFM Families & Guardians,
As we approach the final few weeks of the school year, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous growth and progress that has taken place throughout the year. With the transition to new leadership came several changes and improvements, but what I am most proud of are the meaningful relationships that have been built with our students, families, staff, and community.
While there is still important work ahead, my administrative team and I are excited about the future of Sedgefield and the intentional adjustments and enhancements we will continue making over the summer to strengthen our school community.
Over the next few weeks, we have several exciting activities planned for our students and families. This week we will host our Band Concert on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the GCH Auditorium. On Friday, students will enjoy Field Day activities, including jump castles, face painting, and other fun experiences as we celebrate the close of the school year together. In addition we will host our End-of-Year Awards Ceremonies next week as we recognize and celebrate the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students throughout the school year.
Please remember that returning student registration is still open. Thank you to all of the families who have already completed the registration process. Your partnership and support are greatly appreciated.
The NEW Sedgefield is committed to being intentional, focused, and centered on the success of our teachers, students, parents, and community. Thank you for your continued support and all that you do to help make our school stronger each day.
Yours in Education,
Dr. C

Hello SFM Parents and Guardians,
This is your friendly neighborhood principal, Dr. C. We are proud to share that the first day of testing is down, with one more week to go! We had a smooth and successful day today, and we are looking forward to continuing that positive momentum.
Tomorrow, students will be taking the Writing portion of the SC Ready assessment. Please ensure that students arrive on time. This is extremely important, as we want every student to be settled and in the best possible mindset before testing begins. Please note that students who arrive at 8:45 AM or later will not test with their regular homeroom, so punctuality is essential.
As mentioned previously, there is an incentive for students who are present for each day of testing, so attendance is key.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and all that you do to support our students.

Hello, SFM Families & Guardians,
The time has come—everything we have practiced and worked hard to master this year will be demonstrated over the next two weeks.
The first SC READY assessment will be ELA – Reading.
**Testing Day Expectations**
Students are expected to be on their very best behavior throughout the testing window. To ensure a smooth and successful testing environment, please review the following expectations:
* **Timeliness is critical.** All car riders must arrive at school on time. Any student who arrives after **9:00 AM** will be required to make up the test on a different day.
* All electronic devices will be collected by testing administrators at the start of each testing session. This includes, but is not limited to:
* Cell phones
* Ear buds / wireless headphones
* SMART watches
* SMART glasses
* Any device capable of imaging, recording, or messaging
* Students are not permitted to bring blankets to school.
* Students must restart their school-issued computers prior to arriving and bring them fully charged each day.
* Bluetooth headphones are not allowed.
To support student performance, we encourage families to ensure students get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on testing days. Additionally, to help maintain a focused and uninterrupted testing environment, we ask that you make every effort to schedule appointments outside of these testing dates, and please do your best not to collect your student before their test is complete.
We appreciate your partnership in helping our students do their very best. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
At the New Sedgefield, we will work together to ensure every student is prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.
Thank you for your continued support.
