SIC Annual Goals The Stiles Point Elementary School SIC is committed to supporting teaching and learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges. We have embraced these changes by declaring our school theme this year to be GAME ON! SIC's main goal this year is to make sure that the ever-changing needs of our Stiles Point community are being addressed, and that families are put in touch with much-needed resources during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic. Stiles Point stakeholders are dedicated to providing an environment of educational excellence in which the wonders of learning and childhood are celebrated and students feel cherished and challenged!
