Week of September 20th
Immunizations and Health Assessments
Please ensure your child can be in attendance. All immunizations must be in or they will be suspended from school after 9/23 as the 30 calendar days would have ended if the student enrolled on day 1.
The fax number for Southern Guilford Middle is 336-674-4278. Please ensure your child's name is located on the document you fax so that we can enter for the correct child.
Proof of immunizations and the Health Assessment Transmittal form must be provided to your child’s school within 30 calendar days of attendance to avoid suspension.
Immunization requirements attached below
E.X.C.E.L.
As shared in previous communications we are creating a culture of Excellence centered around the core values noted below. We have had some students who are choosing not to adhere to these standards and we are working to teach and model each and everyday. Please speak with your son or daughter about respecting school property and not being a part of any challenges that social media may encourage. Also, please ensure that they are committed to learn by being in school each day by 8:20 am and staying in school until dismissal at 3:20 pm. Absences due to sickness are understandable and appreciated to keep us safe and healthy but late arrival or early dismissal is disruptive to the student and the class.
E-Epitomize integrity
X-eXpress Respect
C-Commit to Learn
E-Exercise responsibility
L-Lead with Courage
Dressed for Success

Title 1 Family Night Save the Date
Families may enter for our Family Night through the front entrance between 5:30 and 6:45 pm.
Families will report to the entrance of the grade level hallway for their student. At the entrance staff will be stationed to get you signed in and to receive Title 1 information for SGMS as well as to receive a passport. The passport will contain questions.
The answers to these questions will be found on the grade level hallway at content area tables for the Math, Reading, Science and Social Studies teachers and around the Pit for any encore class your child attends.
- Please go to each class/content table to find the answer to the question and please pick up your childs interim from the home room teacher.
- The homeroom teacher will be located at the content area table for the subject they teach.
- Once you have answered all questions for the classes your child attends please bring the completed passport to the front hallway to pick up a ChickFila meal for each of the family members that are in attendance.
- This is a first come first serve meal opportunity for those in attendance. Quantity is limited so please come early to take advantage of a free meal.
The event will end at 7:00 pm so it is important to arrive no later than 6:45 to be able to answer the questions, pick up materials and food before the end of the evening.
Let's come out and show support of our SGMS teachers and students for all the hard work that has been put in so far this quarter.
