Feedback is invaluable in helping us create a positive and supportive learning environment. Please take a few moments to complete the Parent Climate Survey, accessible through the Parent Portal.
Students and teachers will also participate in the School Climate Survey. The survey is a valuable tool that provides actionable feedback on the perceptions of both teachers and students regarding the climate within our schools and district. Your child's input, along with that of our dedicated educators, helps us identify areas of strength and areas for improvement.
It's essential to note that achieving an 80% completion rate for the survey is crucial. Falling below this threshold for any district, school, or student subgroup could result in negative rating values on the SC School report card. Your participation and support in ensuring a high completion rate are greatly appreciated.
As parents, you play a vital role in preparing our students for this survey. I kindly ask that you communicate the importance of providing honest and thoughtful responses to your child. Please tell them when they read each item on the survey, think about the entire school year rather than a specific event or something that happened once or twice. Emphasize that their feedback is instrumental in shaping the future of our school community. Student answer choices will be as follows: 1 = Disagree, 2 = Mostly Disagree, 3 = Mostly Agree, or 4 = Agree for each sentence. Students will do their best to decide. If students do not know anything about the subject or the statement does not apply to them, they will mark 5= No Answer.” (For example, students attending a virtual school would mark “No Answer” to a question about the cleanliness of the school bathrooms.)
Confidentiality Notice:
Although surveys are completed through PowerSchool apps, the surveys are confidential. The district and schools are not provided access to individual student or teacher responses. Summary data are provided and analyzed by student subgroups in accordance with federal reporting mandates.
