Our School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC) recently met to review year-end data and explore ways to enhance parent engagement. 📈
Their recommendations included enhancing communication of student goals with parents, involving all students in the goal-setting process, and facilitating smoother transitions between schools and grade levels. Their feedback will be instrumental as MISD continues to work on improving student achievement.
