Sevierville Intermediate School Parental Involvement Policy
Sevierville Intermediate School encourages the involvement of all parents, both as individuals and groups, to be actively involved in the education of their child and act as advisors and resource people in the following ways:
  • To be involved in the planning, review, and improvement of the Sevierville Intermediate School's Parent Involvement Policy
  • To serve as advisors on School Improvement efforts
  • To be actively involved in parent advisory groups, such as, PTO
  • To share ideas and concerns by responding to surveys
  • To share their talents to enhance the curriculum
Sevierville Intermediate School is a Title 1 school. Parent involvement is vital to planning of the Title 1 program at SIS. We are aware that parents have a right to be involved in their child's progress and are encouraged to be involved. Information will be provided about the school's programs in a language and form that parents understand. Parents will be made aware that Title 1 funds may be used to pay reasonable and necessary expenses associated with parent involvement activities. Parents will be invited to be involved in the planning, review, and improvement of the school's Title 1 program through the school website, newsletters and through the school's annual meeting which will be held to inform parents of the school's participation in the Title 1 program and to explain the requirements of the program and their right to be involved. The school will involve parents in the joint development of the School wide Program Plan by consulting with parents in the planning, design, and implementation of the Title 1 plan. The school will provide opportunities for regular meetings with parents to involve parents in the joint development of the School Improvement Plan. All parents will be provided with timely information about the Title 1 program. This will be achieved by accessing the school website, school and class newsletters, and at the annual meeting in which parents are notified of the school wide program. Parent - teacher conferences will be scheduled every six weeks to address student progress. Parents will be provided with frequent progress reports . Sevierville Intermediate School will also coordinate, to the extent possible, parent involvement activities and Strategies under other programs and will offer transition activities for students coming to SIS and for those students who will transition on to the Middle School. The school will also provide materials and training to help parents to work with their children to improve their children's achievement, as appropriate, to foster parent involvement. Sevierville Intermediate School will provide parents with a description of the curriculum used in the school, forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet. Scores of achievement testing will be sent home in a timely manner and details of student progress will be provided to parents on a regular basis. If requested by parents, opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children, and respond to those suggestions as soon as possible will be honored. A school-parent compact will be developed in order to outline how parents, the school staff, and students will share the responsibility for improved achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a partnership to create a positive learning environment at Sevierville Intermediate School.

At Sevierville Intermediate we pledge to provide a positive atmosphere and a meaningful learning experience for all students. We encourage all parents to work with us to ensure that the best education possible may be attained for all students. Children are our number one priority, and we exist to serve their interests.
