School Improvement Team

The Estes Hills Elementary School Improvement Team (SIT) is a state-mandated organization composed of selected Estes Hills staff and parents. The group’s purpose is to develop a school improvement plan to strengthen student performance.

The North Carolina General Assembly requires schools across the state to write a School Improvement Plan (SIP), an outline of goals for improvement as well as strategies for reaching these goals. Each spring, all schools in the district report their progress toward their School Improvement Plan goals. The SIT (School Improvement Team) reviews materials to help develop the plan and status reports.
