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.

Hello, SFM Families & Guardians,
We warmly invite you to join us on May 5, 6 pm, at GCH for our upcoming Dance Performance. Our students have been working hard to prepare their routines, and we are excited to share this special event with you.
To ensure that every performance can be fully enjoyed and respected by all, we kindly ask that you hold your applause until each routine has concluded. Modeling this expectation helps create an environment where every student performer and audience member feels valued.
We are incredibly proud of our Dance Team and the excellence they continue to demonstrate under Ms. Salvage’s guidance. While we know you are eager to celebrate your child, we simply ask that all cheering and applause take place at the appropriate times during the program.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

I hope this message finds you well.
I want to address an important safety concern regarding morning student drop-off. We have received multiple reports of parents dropping students off across the street, requiring them to cross traffic to get to campus. This creates a serious safety hazard for our students and staff.
As Principal, one of my highest responsibilities is ensuring the safety and well-being of every child in our building. That includes your precious children each morning as they arrive to school.
To help us maintain a safe environment, I am asking all families to immediately discontinue dropping students off across the street and instead use the designated car rider line for morning arrival. This procedure is in place to protect students and ensure a smooth, supervised drop-off process.
Our School Resource Officer (SRO) will begin monitoring the area to observe and support compliance with this expectation.
I also encourage each of us to model safe and responsible behavior for our students by following established school procedures. Your cooperation makes a significant difference in keeping everyone safe.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Sincerely,
Dr. C
A big thank you to our amazing staff for organizing such a fun and memorable event, and to our families and community members who came out to cheer on our students. Your support means everything!
Events like this remind us just how special the Sedgefield community is. When we come together, we create something truly incredible, full of energy, and positivity. We’re already looking forward to the next one (and the World Cup this summer)!
