CMS Professional Learning Symposium (August 20-22)
We are excited to welcome all certified CMS school staff who are planning to return to CMS in 2018-2019 to the CMS Professional Learning Symposium on August 20, 2018 through August 22, 2018.
Content/curriculum sessions will take place at sites across CMS during these three days. Choice sessions will take place at one of four sites (Hough High School, Olympic Community of Schools, Spaugh PDC, and East Mecklenburg High School). Attendees can select choice sessions from any of these sites.
Sessions will last for either 50 minutes, 1 hour 50 minutes, 1/2 day, or 1 full day. A 1.5 hour break is scheduled each day from 11:00am-12:30pm for lunch and travel.
It is an expectation that all school based leaders and certified staff will attend one of the five half-day Keynote sessions at Ovens Auditorium and all certified staff will attend their required sessions and at least a half day of choice sessions. There are a few job titles who will have a conflict with their curriculum sessions and the Keynote Session at Ovens (dance, music, PE/Health, hs counselor). These staff, along with school based presenters who may have a conflict, should pick another session at Ovens to attend.
School based leaders are welcome but not required to attend required and choice sessions with their teachers. All attendees will need to find their school's preselected Keynote Session time within this chart, in the registration system. Please note there are caps on each of the five keynote sessions (2400) as well as our choice sessions.
We have designed a dynamic system that allows you to create a personalized agenda. Please use the Advanced Search tool within our event website to help you narrow down your search and then build your customized schedule in our registration system. We encourage you to search for sessions in several ways.

New Spartans Transition Camp August 14-15
In preparation for a successful and exciting 2018-2019 school year, we are providing scholars with a unique opportunity. Rising 6th graders are invited to attend our “New Spartans Transition Camp” on Tuesday, August 14th and Wednesday, August 15th from 9:00-12:00. Registration will begin each morning at 8:30.
The purpose of this orientation is to present scholars with a series
of workshops designed to acquaint them with our building and procedures prior to the first day of school, as well as help 6th graders feel more comfortable and confident as they enter Sedgefield. In this orientation, scholars will be given the opportunity to become familiar with the building, administration and teachers, as well as the rules and procedures for Sedgefield Middle School. Parents will also have the opportunity to meet teachers, learn about transportation, purchase Sedgefield gear, and sign up for the PTO!
