Good morning Grant middle school families,
Today we will start our 5-Essentials surveys. Attached is the flyer QR code that you can scan to complete the survey and link is below to complete your survey from your browser. As a district we need 20% to reach our goal but, it would be nice to get as many parent responses as possible. For each parent that completes a survey your name will be entered into a drawing for a prize and your student name will be added to the list to receive free popcorn or get a pass for hat day. These prizes will be given once the 5- Essentials survey has ended. It will be announced later when that date is.
Developed by: The University of Chicago Consortium on School Research.
Purpose: To identify strengths and weaknesses in a school's organizational structure and culture to inform improvement strategies.
Who takes it: Students, teachers, and parents.
Five essential areas:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environment
Ambitious Instruction
