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.
