  • We need more parent voices in our school improvement process!  

    But, if you agreed to join the team, what would you be doing?  

    Monthly SIT meetings look like this:

    1) Teams in the building who own school improvement projects come and report out their progress towards their goals.  And the SIT members can ask questions and ask how we can support their team.  This part of the meeting keeps us focused on celebrating our goals but also helps us pay attention to goals and strategies that are struggling.  

    2) The second part of the meeting will be group work on different projects or problems that need to be solved.  For example, one team might be reflecting on why the car rider line is going slow and how to speed it up, while another group could be reflecting on what our expectations are for parent conferences this year.  The topics and projects vary each meeting based on the need.    

    3) Finally, the end of the meeting is a whole group discussion about celebrations, items that were submitted to team members for us to review/problem solve, upcoming events, projects, and the like.  

    No one needs to be an expert on any one thing.  English is NOT required as translation can be supported.
