From the Plympton Admin Team
Hello, Families!
Our 3rd grade students had a fabulous time at the Plimouth Museum this past Tuesday. The chaperones were so impressed with the high quality of the questions our students asked. Thank you to the PTO for sponsoring the buses for the trip. A group photo is below!
If you have a 2nd or 3rd grade student, please be sure you have completed the field trip permission slip for the December 3 trip to Wheelock Theatre.
Panorama Surveys
Our district values your feedback! We are currently surveying Waltham families in order to gain insight into your perception of our school and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your input. We want to know what you think.
Our schools have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our Fall 2024 Family Survey. Panorama protects your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district as good as they can be.
The family survey should only take 5 minutes with 24 questions aligned to the Strategic Plan. You may complete the survey online between October 23 - November 9 using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the following link: surveys.panoramaed.com/waltham/family24
This year students in Grades 3 – 12 will participate in two questionnaires: one on their School Experience and one on students Social and Emotional Wellness and Connection to School. Each questionnaire will take about 20 minutes and will be administered by your child’s classroom or homeroom teacher. Data collected from these questionnaires will be used in the planning of the development of a comprehensive social emotional learning plan as articulated by our District Strategic Plan. Student responses will be confidential and student information will be secured to ensure student privacy.
Examples of the types of questions asked of students are available in the attachments below. If you do not wish to have your child participate in these questionnaires, please return the attached form to your child’s school or contact your child(ren)’s Principal. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us at 781-314-5404.
