What is SIC?
The SIC, or School Improvement Council, brings
together parents, teachers, faculty and
community partners to collaborate on issues or
topics that result in the improvement of our
school. SICs are mandated by law to exist in
every public school in South Carolina.
What are some
of the things that the SIC does?
SICs utilize subcommittees to research and
implement various programs to support academic
growth and improve progress. At Blythe, some of
the goals for the 2012-2013 school year include:
-
Continue to increase parental and community
awareness of advocacy issues that impact
public education and Blythe Academy
-
Continue to assist and collaborate with the
PTA, faculty and community to enhance the
academic setting and facilitate learning
-
Continue to increase parental awareness of
their role and unique aspects of the
immersion program through parent information
seminars
-
Continue to increase community awareness of
the immersion program through media,
collaboration with middle schools, and
neighborhood relations.
-
Continue to ensure the routes to and from
school are safe for children who are
walking, biking and carpooling
-
Increase the focus on health and wellness in
school activities and routines by supporting
the new menu and CATCH programs
-
Continue efforts to improve the outdoor
playground and school grounds
