What a great first week!
I don't know about you all, but I was exhausted after week 1. This first week was exceptional! Our students were able to make the shift from summer-mode to school-mode and did it beautifully. We kicked off the week, welcoming families into the building and I loved seeing the excitement on everyone's face. Our students were able to go through our expectation stations, hearing about our S.O.A.R. expectations throughout the building.
Staying Safe
Owning Our Actions
Acting Responsibly
Respecting Everyone and Everything
Our teachers designed wonderful activities to build community within the classroom, and have worked to build the home-school relationship with you all as well. We are still working out the kinks of arrival and dismissal, but I'm confident we'll get there. We saw that every day was better than the previous. We also held our first evacuation drill, and our faculty, staff, and students performed amazingly! Honestly, it was the BEST, first drill I have ever been a part of.
This year is going to be nothing shy of aWESome!
We are building our SIC. And we need you!
What is a School Improvement Council (SIC)?
An SIC is a broad-based body intended to advise the principal and school, and is focused on helping to achieve school improvement.
What do SICs do?
SIC duties focus primarily on the school improvement process. SICs:
- provide input and feedback during the development of the school's five-year renewal (improvement) plan and annual updates;
- assist in implementation of school improvement programs and activities;
- monitor and report on progress toward improvement goals in the annual SIC Report to the Parents and with the principal in the narrative to the SC School Report Card;
- provide other assistance as requested by the principal.
Why take the time to serve on an SIC?
- Because when parents are engaged in their children's education, their children do better in school and the quality of the school improves.
- Because parents bring wisdom to the Council. They have in-depth knowledge about their own children's strengths and needs as well as the perspectives of other families in the school.
- Because community members who are NOT parent of children in the schools still benefit from good schools in the form of a stronger local economy and property values.
- Because citizens who are NOT parents of children in the schools also have unique contributions to make to School Improvement Councils. Senior citizens, business people, members of the faith community, staff of social service agencies, and others all have knowledge, experiences and resources that can benefit their community's schools.
