Family,
October is rapidly approaching and with that comes an opportunity for you to get involved in our school on a deeper level. I would like to take this opportunity to invite all parents, guardians, and community members to volunteer to serve on our School Improvement Council (SIC). If you are unfamiliar with what the SIC is and why it is important, please allow me to briefly elaborate on its relevance to our school community.
The SIC plays a crucial role in the improvement and overall success of our school. The SIC provides a platform for parents, community members, and school staff to actively engage in an ongoing dialogue that will directly influence the school's decision-making process. This engagement helps build a sense of ownership and investment in the school while fostering a dynamic school-community partnership. The SIC is important because it brings together a diverse group of stakeholders to collaborate, advocate, and work towards the continuous improvement of the school, which ultimately benefits the entire school community and enhances the educational experience for students.
We are including parent nomination forms to this newsletter. Any parent/community member that is nominated will be contacted by a member of our school’s administration. Nominees will be invited to submit a brief statement about themselves and why they want to serve on the SIC. All statements received will be listed on the ballot so that voters will have a chance to get to know each of the candidates.
If you would like to nominate yourself or another individual for a parent representative position on the HWES SIC, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/k2xwPcTgz6rYsyvs6. Nomination forms must be received no later than October 4, 2024 at 3pm.
Thank you for your continued support!
Keep Being Great,
Thomas Turner, Ed.D
