Jostens Pulse Survey - Closes April 24th
This is a friendly reminder to complete the Parent Survey that was sent out in an email last week. Here is the information:
We will be using the Jostens Renaissance Program next year to enhance our PBIS program and the manner in which we recognize students and build a positive culture and climate.
We need your feedback to help us prioritize what we need to do!
There is no way that your answers can be tracked back. All results are tabulated by Jostens and you will not be asked any information that would identify who you are.
We want to emphasize that all people – especially our students – need to know that they matter. Thus, recognition in all its forms can contribute to students believing that they matter—that they are important to others. This survey will allow our school community to better understand if our students believe they are receiving recognition, formal and informal – which may in turn motivate them to do better academically, be caring and supportive classmates, and strive to be upstanding citizens. Having a better understanding of whether current recognition practices are hitting the mark with students will allow our school community to adjust as needed to create the most supportive environment for students as possible.
Please click on the survey link and answer a few questions so we can plan for next year. This survey closes on April 24th, so don't miss your chance to give us input!

Important Reminders!
Athletic Eligibility Notification Updates: We will begin posting athletic eligibility in Skyward Family Access to notify students and parents of academic eligibility. We will plan to post it for F's only from now on. We used to send notification for D's as well; however, with this shift we will only notify those who have a failing grade and are academically ineligible for the next week. A reminder that weekly eligibility runs from Sunday to Sunday.
