● assist in implementation of school improvement programs and activities;
● monitor and report on progress toward improvement goals in the annual SIC Report to the Parents and with the principal in the narrative to the SC School Report Card;
● provide other assistance as requested by the principal.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 28th, is Fall (really summer) School Picture Day!!!
