Open House and Title 1 Meeting
We would like to invite all of our parents to our first annual Open House and Title 1 Event. The event will be held on August 24th from 5 pm to 7 pm.
During the Open House Event we will conduct our annual Title 1 meeting at 5:30 in the cafeteria. We will also have PTO on site for anyone interested in joining PTO and a PTO meeting open to all parents at 6 pm.
School Improvement Council
We are reaching out to notify parents, guardians, and caretakers of an opportunity to serve our school and its students as a parent representative on the Highland Springs Middl School Improvement Council.
What is the School Improvement Council?
(SIC) is an advisory council to the principal that is focused on school improvement issues. The SIC is comprised of representatives including parents, teachers, and community members. Your school principal serves as an ex-officio member. The SIC meets monthly during the school year on Fridays at 10 am.
For more information concerning the South Carolina School Improvement Council and its purpose, please visit https://sic.sc.gov for detailed information including mission statement, frequently asked questions, bylaws and handbooks.
Who is eligible to serve as a parent representative?
Any parent, guardian or primary caretaker of at least one child currently enrolled at NAHS is eligible for nomination as a parent representative. Parent representatives are elected to a term of two years. If a parent has a child enrolled in the 12th grade at NAHS for the current school year and will not have any child enrolled the following year, that parent is elected to a term of one year only.
How do I nominate myself or someone else for the SIC as a parent representative?
Nominations for SIC parent representatives will be accepted via digital nomination form until August 15th. Once verified, nominees will be added to the parent representative ballot for voting at Open House on August 24th.
Please use the form link found in the post below to submit a nomination.
Voting Process
In-person voting for SIC elections will begin during the Open House event on August 24th from 5 - 7 pm. A ballot box with voting slips will be in the main office lobby for the duration of the event.
The three parent representatives who receive the most votes will be notified via e-mail and asked to confirm their intention to participate as a parent representative.
Please reach out to Jeremy Lehman, jlehman@acpsd.net with any questions.
Thanks!
