You are invited to our next School Improvement Council and our Title I Planning meeting! We will be addressing the focus points of school climate, teacher quality and retention, and family engagement at SIC. For Title I we will be reviewing changes since last school year, effectiveness of classroom instruction, assessment data, evaluate our Title I activities for this school year, and begin to discuss the changes we need to make for next school year's planning.

We will have a Google meet code, so if you are able to attend virtual we hope you will. This code will be sent out via text the day of.

Thank you for all of your continued support. If you have any questions, you can contact our Title I Facilitator Mrs. Murchie-Chapman at 843-797-2620, murchiec@bcsdschools.net, send a note in with your student, or stop by!

Hello SFM Parents and Guardians,

“Student access to SC Discus, South Carolina's Virtual Library, was temporarily restricted in February in response to parent concerns regarding age-appropriate content. This step was taken in accordance with S.C. Code Regs. § 43-170, which requires school districts to ensure digital and print resources meet educational and age-appropriateness standards.

District leadership collaborated with key stakeholders, including the South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina State Library, to conduct a review of SC Discus. As a result, access to SC Discus was restored on high school student devices prior to the start of the school year. The district has also determined that SC Discus will be available on middle school student devices beginning on January 15, 2026.

If you do not want your student to use SC Discus, please complete, sign, and return the opt out form to your child’s librarian.

Parent/Guardian Opt-Out Form – SC Discus Access for Middle School BCSD Students
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yubf2uc_f0rYYkNDMHGVGzN3xaw0brH2m1aX_Dlwe0c/edit?tab=t.0
If you approve your child’s access and use of SC Discus on their BCSD issued device, no action is required.”

Dear SFM Parents and Guardians, We are asking for your support in helping us reduce distractions caused by Beats headphones, wireless AirPods, and cell phones during the school day. These items have increasingly become distractions in hallways and during instructional time for our teachers, and we have seen an uptick in referrals related to their use. Students are permitted to have wired headphones. Please encourage your student to leave Wireless Beats headphones at home, or at the very least, keep them secured in their book bags. Additionally, all cell phones should be turned off and kept in book bags until the end of the school day. We appreciate your partnership as we work together to maintain a focused, safe, and productive learning environment for all students. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Dr. Cowan

Hello SFM Parents and Guardians I have received several questions about the cutoff time for signing their student out. I apologize that this was not communicated earlier. Students CANNOT be picked up 30 minutes before dismissal. Therefore, no sign-outs after 2:30pm. Have a great evening! Dr. Cowan
