Spartan Spotlight: Ms. Andrena "Renee" Goodwin, Dean of Students
|
An educator for more than 22 years, Ms. Goodwin (who goes by her middle name Renee) joined Sedgefield Middle in December 2018 as the dean of students/eighth grade administrator. Prior to joining SMS, she taught social studies and served as a facilitator, predominantly at the high school level. As dean of students, Ms. Goodwin oversees transportation, manages the daily operations of eighth grade affairs, carries out incentive programs, provides teachers with instructional coaching and feedback, and assists with student behavior redirection.
“My work at SMS is an exciting privilege. I enjoy working with young people and ensuring they always feel welcomed, expected and cared for everyday,” she said. “After spending 20 years of my career in high schools, I wanted to renew my spirit in education by trying middle school. The best things about the middle school level are the hugs and watching the metamorphosis of the children as they become their unique selves.”

Club Volunteers Needed - Sign Up Today!

Clubs are a great way for scholars to work with different peers and learn new skills...and a phenomenal way for staff members to build relationships with scholars. SMS is excited to offer over 20 clubs to our scholars! The clubs range from academically-based clubs to sports-related. Scholars will be in the same club for one semester and may choose a new club in January.
We welcome any support from our parents and community members to assist with the clubs. If you are interested,
please sign up here
. Be sure to include your e-mail and phone number to receive updates. Please note: all volunteers must be cleared CMS volunteers; this must be done on a yearly basis.

From December 3-6, Sedgefield Middle scholars will flaunt their science know-how at our school science fair. To make this event a sure-fire success, volunteers are needed to help judge project oral presentations.
No science qualifications are needed (you'll be trained prior to judging) and all judges will receive a snack (Pavlovian conditioning, perhaps?) A variety of time slots are available to volunteer,
so click here to sign up today. Science fair winners will be announced on December 12 at the Holiday Arts night.
