Mental health awareness and Panorama survey
As we wrap up the school year, we are asking students to again participate in the Panorama survey for social-emotional learning. For elementary grades 3-5, the questions center on their current knowledge, how they feel about the school environment, and whether they have access to staff and resources to feel safe and successful. For secondary grades, the questions center on the same areas and further explores whether students feel they have the skills, opportunity, or ability for personal and academic growth. The survey will be available from June 1 to June 20.

Students to receive Panorama survey in spring
We will again be asking our 3rd through 12th grade students to participate in the Panorama survey for social-emotional learning. This survey was given to students last school year and in the fall 2022. Panorama helps schools and districts transform their approach to education, so that every student thrives in school, every student benefits from an excellent education, and every student graduates prepared with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets they need to thrive in the modern, ever-changing world. Through our work to improve education, we help create a world where every child has equitable access to opportunities in school and in society more broadly. Panorama is a tool used by the district in conjunction with multiple other resources, such as attendance, behavior, grades, etc.

December Cultural Awareness and Recognitions
Perhaps with several major holiday celebrations during December, no recognitions were identified for the month according to PTA.org. As with most other months, there are daily observances which have been identified. One of these is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3. According to un.org, disability is a condition or function judged to be significantly impaired relative to the usual standard of an individual of their group. Referred to as “the world’s largest minority,” persons with disabilities have generally poorer health, lower education achievements, fewer economic opportunities, and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities.
