Each SIC is required to write and distribute the
Report to the Parents by April 30 of each year.
This provides an excellent opportunity to share your school's successes with the community as you report on the progress made with the school improvement plan. Be creative and use the Report to the Parents as a special marketing tool all year long!
NEW SC-SIC Member Network FEATURE:
Share a PDF of your
Report to the Parents
with Councils across
South Carolina!
How to upload your Report:
1 - SC-SIC Member Network account-holders (the school's principal, a designated staff member and/or a district-level user) must log in to his/her account at the SC-SIC Member Network.
2 - Click the large yellow Report to the Parents button.
3 - Click the large yellow Add Report button.
4 - Use the Browse button to navigate to the PDF of the Report on your computer.
5 - Click Submit.
PLEASE NOTE: Councils must still distribute their Reports among their communities; uploading only to the Member Network site does not satisfy statutory accountability.
Each school may upload one PDF version of their Report each year. Schools are encouraged to take this opportunity to tell other SICs - and the world! - what they have accomplished.
The Reports to the Parents are also viewable on the SC-SIC Member Network's public, read-only view. (https://sic.ed.sc.edu/network/)
