School Improvement Team
School Improvement Team
School Improvement Teams (SITs) are required by North Carolina law to develop school improvement plans. The team is comprised of the principal of each school, representatives of the assistant principals, instructional personnel, instructional support personnel, and teacher assigned to the school building, and parents of children enrolled in the school. The representatives are elected by their respective groups (such as the PTO for parents).
The General Assembly of North Carolina views parental involvement as a critical component of school success and positive student achievement. It is the intent of NC that parents, along with teachers, have a substantial role in developing school improvement plans.
School Improvement Teams are considered a public body and are subject to open meeting law. Staff and community members are always welcome to attend and observe the meetings. Meetings are held monthly at our school, starting at 3:05pm. Please refer to the Meeting Dates and Times below. You may communicate suggestions for school improvement directly to an individual on the team, place a suggestion in the Suggestion Box outside of the Main Office, or send a suggestion to the entire team.
