Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey Results

Late December, we received the results from our parent/caregiver experience survey. The district’s overall mean is 4.32 (on a five point scale) and continues to be a strong measure that demonstrates the high degree of satisfaction parents/caregivers have for the work we do each day. We received strong participation from families across our system with 1,567 having taken the survey. The highest rated item was “The school is clean and well maintained” (4.56). The lowest item was “I receive positive messages about my child from school” (3.97), which continues to be a focus across all buildings.

Thank you to each and every one of you for making time to complete the survey and provide feedback about your experiences within our system. We have much to celebrate as a District. Building-level results are in the process of being shared by principals, and action plans will be developed by each respective school.

Compass Award Information

2024 Compass Nominations are now being accepted. We have been recognizing staff with the compass since 2008. The purpose is to reinforce and recognize staff who, through their commitments and contributions, ensure that every student is learning, growing, and succeeding. Specifically, the Compass honors staff members who meet designated criteria in the following areas:

  2. Positive impact on staff, parents, and/or the community;
  3. Commitment to continuous improvement, leadership, and/or service;
  4. Champion for innovation, creativity, and/or best practice.

Please consider nominating a staff member for the 2024 Compass. The application form is available on our website. Download and complete the Nomination Form and include “Statements for Nominee” covering the established criteria.
