Partnering with the Principal
Thank you to everyone who participated in the two question survey recently. Your ideas and insights are always helpful. While there were many topics that were brought up, there are a few areas where there were multiple people who commented on the same areas. As Ms. Wenner and I read through your feedback, we categorized them under the headings of School Culture, Instruction, and Executive Management. We then cross referenced them with the teacher & staff survey responses and looked for the areas that appeared on both groups survey responses.
School Culture
- bullying prevention through virtues, discipline consistency
- safety (building & student/faculty)
Instruction
- additional support staff
- excellence in academics (enrichment, writing, math, science)
Executive Management
- School upkeep/classroom updates
Many of these things are in line with the vision of excellence that was shared at the Gala. We are looking forward to continuing to build the vision and creating an outstanding school of faith, academics, and service.
