Note: Please be sure to download the Apptegy app for further communication as we will no longer communicate via Class Dojo moving forward.
As always, thank you for your continued support of Sussex Central Middle School.
The countdown to the new school year is on! Our dedicated teachers have been hard at work this week, arranging desks, decorating classrooms, participating in professional development sessions, and adding special touches to create welcoming and engaging environments.
We are excited to invite you to our Open House on Thursday, August 14, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This event will be a wonderful opportunity for students to receive their classroom schedules and meet their teachers.
Please note that Thursday, August 14, will also be the last chance for parents to register their children for school before the new school year begins. There will be no student registration during the first three days of school (August 18–20).
For the 2025–2026 school year, SCES will transition from ClassDojo to Apptegy for all school communications. Parents can expect more information about Apptegy at the Open House. Please remember that Thursday, August 14, will be the final day SCES communicates through ClassDojo—attending Open House will help you stay connected!
Our staff can’t wait to see the smiles, energy, and curiosity our students will bring when school starts on Monday, August 18, 2025. We are looking forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and wonderful memories.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Mr. Councill
