The General Gist

John Sedgwick Staff & Families,

As we prepare for the 2025–26 school year, we’re hard at work creating a memorable first day. But before that, we’re excited to welcome our families to General Admission!

This optional event is an opportunity to:

• Visit Sedgwick
• Take your school picture
• Pick up a preliminary schedule
• Take care of other important back-to-school business

To make sure you have the most up-to-date details about General Admission, we’ve put together a special General Gist all about the event.
