The survey, which will be administered during the school day between Monday, March 3 and Friday, March 7, will measure student engagement and satisfaction "and is an important measurement in determining potential areas of improvement. "

Themes addressed on the survey include:

  • School climate
  • Bullying
  • Academics
  • Homework
  • Positive relationships
  • Voice and choice
  • Feedback and goal setting
  • Engaged learning
  • Flexible teaching styles

The survey will be administered by the National Center for School Leadership as part of a nationwide effort conducted each year. According to the district, using a third party will help keep student responses confidential.

Survey results will be shared with the Board of Education and made available to the public this spring.
