Getting Involved in the Schools’ Planning Processes

Advisory Council

Each school in the Stewart County School System has an Advisory Council that meets monthly to discuss school issues, concerns, solve problems, plan, and brainstorm ways to improve the school. These councils are comprised of parents, teachers, administrators, and students (when appropriate). If you would like to attend an Advisory Council meeting, present information at a meeting, or join the council at your child’s school, please contact the school’s administration.

School Improvement Planning Teams

School improvement is a continuous process utilized in Tennessee schools to ensure that schools are meeting all students’ needs. School Improvement teams are one way to begin building the professional learning communities needed to support the continuous improvement effort. These teams are charged with learning to effectively use data to determine student performance goals and to use research to identify strategies and interventions to achieve these goals. Schoolwide planning includes all constituencies involved in the school. The quest for tools to improve student learning will be sustained throughout the continuous school improvement process.

Each school develops or updates a School Improvement Plan every year. If you would like to be a part of your child’s School Improvement Planning Team, please contact the school’s administration.

Family and Community Engagement Team

Each school develops with parents, teachers and administrators a parent involvement plan. The School Level Parent Involvement Plan establishes expectations for parent involvement. If you would like to be a part of the Family and Community Engagement Team at the district level or at your child’s school, please contact the school’s administration.
