Hello Falcons!
Welcome to March! We are quickly moving from Quarter 3 to Quarter 4 in the next two weeks, and we will be preparing ourselves to conquer Spring MAP and SCReady. Please note, assignments for the quarter should be completed by Wednesday so students can focus on retaking any tests from the quarter, if needed. Quarter 3 Benchmarks will be given the week of March 10 and will be the last major for the quarter.
Next week, we have Read Across America week. Check out calendar of events by Ms. Heyward and Ms. Gaskin! We have Rising 6th grade night for our local 5th graders on Tuesday, and Thursday is Spirit Night at Penn Station!
Have a great week, Falcons!

Friendly reminder, it is time for the Bimas-2 Universal Screener rating for 6th and 7th graders. You can access our district letter home on the link, and parents can reach out to Dr. Nancy Turner and/or the FACs page on the district website for any questions. Sullivan's screening will take place during Team Meetings on Wednesday, March 12.
JV soccer girls team performed well against their home scrimmage vs Broome (8-0 victory) last night with the help of some Lady Falcons! Caroline Ardis scored 4 goals and Bailey Jackson scored 2 goals and had one assist!
The next home game is Friday March 7th at district 3 stadium at 5:30 vs. South Pointe ☺️.
Parents, please assist us with your student complying with Dress Code. Students should wear appropriate pants/shorts, collared shirts/Sullvan t-shirts, and appropriate shoes daily. Students may wear a Sullivan sweatshirt or plain sweatshirt, as well. Jeans, Leggings, cotton joggers/sweatpants, and backless shoes (Crocs not in "sportsmode") are not allowed. Jackets and hooded-sweatshirts should be placed in lockers at the start of the day until dismissal.
As we enter March, and warmer weather approaches, students will begin wearing Spring/Summer clothing. Please check the fit, as most students will grow dramatically between Fall and Spring.
You can find our Dress Code listed on page 42 in the Student Handbook.
Sullivan is working with the district to remove acess to certain messaging sites on student computers such as Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. While teachers monitor student use, often times, some students are able to sneak a message here or there. We will continue to work diligently to ensure proper use of technology in the classroom. Thank you for your continued support!
Sullivan PTO is back again, and we are lucky to have them! They will be holding a "Lucky to Have You" Potato Bar. Please see the Sign Up to help!

Coach Espich is the Head Coach, with Ms. Braden and Ms. Obregon serving as assistant coaches. The first game is at Dutchman Creek on Thursday, March 13th. The Falcons play Saluda Trail at 7pm and Gold Hill at 7:45pm.
As Falcons, we don't want to just "meet the requirement" as student-athletes. We want to raise the bar! Coming soon will be new guidelines for all student-athletes, no matter the sport. Our Falcons will SOAR, and they will show their Falcon Pride through their academic excellence and sportsmanship.
S-Sportsmanship
O-Ownership
A-Academics and Attendance
R-Represent as Role Models
Falcons will be required to hold at least a C in classes; Bs and As are preferred. Should a student drop below a C in any class, then tutoring will be required instead of practice. Students will not be penalized for attending tutoring. Students are expected to attend school and meet attendance requirements, and they should show exemplary behavior in class.
Academics, attendance and behavior will be checked weekly.
As Falcons, we believe that Academics comes first, and student-athletes are role models for all. Falcons represent Sullivan as proud, outstanding student-athletes who will be ready to meet the next level of expectations in high school and beyond.
Cases of Flu are on the rise.
Please do not send students to school if they are running a fever. Please report the absence to attendance, and only allow the student to return when he/she is 24 hours fever free without using fever-reducing medications and when symptoms have significantly improved.
For more information, please reach out to Nurse Bailey or check HERE.
