School Improvement Team (SIT)The SIT serves as the state-mandated accountability committee for NES. The accountability committee meets monthly to monitor progress toward goals. The committee reviews what we have currently in place and considers additional ideas for student academics and character building. Parents and community members are encouraged to send their ideas to the attention of the committee. The SIT consists of up to thirteen representatives: six parents/community members, six staff members and the principal. Members are elected for a two-year term in the fall of each year.
The mission of the NES SIT is to promote, support and ensure quality education for all children by (a) overseeing the accountability and accreditation process, by analyzing student and community data, and by developing and monitoring school goals, (b) soliciting, coordinating and disseminating information within the school community, (c) honoring the individual uniqueness of people of all ages and cultures, (d) identifying problems that hinder or prevent the continued improvement of the community educational process, and (e) advocating for creative, positive change. Decisions will reflect sound educational philosophy, legal and ethical standards, school board policies, and budgetary considerations. If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact the principal.
