What is SIC? School Improvement Council

• Elements of Sense of community: Community Involvement & Meeting Needs

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.

Meeting Notes:

1. SIC Members Welcomed
2. Discussion
   1. Student SIC will continue
      • Currently has 15 new students that are interested
      • Students goal to recognize teachers
      • Meets on Fridays after SIC meetings
   2. Quarter Incentive Days Discussed
      • How can we do more to recognize students
   3. Coach Reese has students interested in student Health and Wellness Committee
   4. Rollings Rockstars
      • Used to recognize students going above and beyond
   5. Recognition for 8th graders this year ideas
      • At the end of every performance – 8th grade students will get individually recognized
   6. Votes
      • Angie Cantrell is Chair
   7. Questions:
      • Why does RMSA not do awards ceremonies like other schools?
        •  Majority of students would be recognized / a small group would not be recognized / not enough space / too many after school events to hold ceremony after school hours / incentive days are used to recognize these students instead of awards ceremonies at this point / student input would prefer grade level recognition vs whole school.

• Meeting started at 8:00
• Meeting ended at 8:15
