| Strength Areas | Growth Areas |
|---|---|
| Students, staff, and families report feeling safe and cared for. Schools foster a supportive atmosphere. Safety is a clear district priority supported by established systems and communication tools. | Families want more input and involvement in school decisions. Limited Spanish translation creates barriers for families. |
| Students have opportunities to share input and influence school decisions. | Students desire to feel more equally accepted and included, and they would like more opportunities for challenges. There is limited evidence that learning climate initiatives are improving student learning or attendance. |
| Students report that they can learn from mistakes and recognize the value of growth. | There is a need for students to consistently demonstrate the ability to persist through challenges, engage in their learning with passion and curiosity, or set goals based on self-evaluated learning. |
| Learning objectives are consistently posted and shared, showing that expectations are important to the district. | There could be avenues to encourage more staff and community members to take surveys. |
