SC PASS PERFORMANCE

• 73.37% passing in Science

• 86.93 % passing in Social Studies

Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence in 2017

Good schools benefit the whole community,

including taxpayers who do not currently

have children in school, by:

• Increasing property values.

• Attracting good paying jobs that

create more customers for local

businesses.

• Graduating students with skills that

local employers need to compete in

a 21st century economy.

A stronger local economy strengthens the

whole community by raising living standards

and by encouraging our children to stay and

serve the community where they grew up.

India Hook SIC Report to Parents

Successful Schools Benefit EVERYONE

Parents + Community Members + Educators = SIC

SC School Improvement Council

USC College of Education

Center for Educational Partnerships

SIC Chair: Jim Weaving

Principal: Crystal Guyton cguyton@rhmail.org 803-985-1600

Received EXCELLENT rating every year by

state since 2009.

Just as everyone benefits from good schools,

everyone shares responsibility for making

sure that schools and students have what

they need to succeed. SIC members use

their relationships in the community to

connect their school with resources to meet

those needs.

A School Improvement Council (SIC) is an advisory body to the principal and school. State law requires that every K-12 public school have an SIC that includes:

• At least two parents elected by parents. • At least two teachers elected by teachers. • Community members who do not have children

enrolled at the school, appointed by the principal. • The principal and other ex-officio members.

Fitness Focused School Our school is a fitness-focused school because brain research shows us that fitness and nutrition affect learning. Evidence of this includes our fund raising events, our daily practices, our vending, our family fitness nights, and our classroom activities that promote movement. Our SIC rallies behind our lunch and learns and Walking Wednesdays.

We want to continue our focus of fitness next year and know that there are many parents that have great ideas that can make our kids stronger and healthier. If you would like to be a part of something great and good for kids and families, let Ms. Roof or Mrs. Guyton know.
