District Student Surveys- Grades 4-6
Please complete this survey by Thursday December 12th. The survey covers subjects such as bullying, school satisfaction and ethnicity. The expectation is that EVERY student in grades 4-6 completes this survey.
Crisis Go
We are once again using the CrisisGo app, which puts district’s crisis steps on your smart phone or school issued computer. CrisisGo’s digital safety tools have been chosen by over 16,000 schools and organizations. This is one way to give you quick access to steps in the event of an emergency.
The value of having CrisisGo-
- Crisis steps are just a click away.
- There are 5 job categories: custodian, secretary, teacher, principal, other staff. There are slight differences in responsibilities among those groups. You are welcome to pick the one you wish. I put myself in “other staff”.
- Teachers have access to student rosters and emergency contact information within CrisisGo. This information is updated daily from Skyward and is great for contacting parents when you are away from your classroom. If you use the app to call a parent, your cell number does not display. So parents won’t be able use your number in the future.
Log-in information created last year will work just fine.
If you need to download the app, here are the steps necessary for that to occur.
- Create an account by clicking the following link: https://signup.org.crisisgo.net/index.php?r=login&w=HutchinsonKS
- Before your account is created, you will need to select ‘Get Code’ at the end of the form so that you will be emailed a form with a code to verify the account. Once the code is entered, select that you are not a robot and submit.
- Ray Hemman or I will then need approve the request within CrisisGo.
- Once approved, you will receive an email welcoming you to CrisisGo. The email from CrisisGo will give you the opportunity to download it to your desktop. To download to your computer as opposed to your phone, please enter a TMA. Your tech person will need to load the application for you.
- CrisisGo can be found and downloaded from either the App Store on Apple or Play Store on Android.
- Tap the CrisisGo icon to enter the login screen. Enter your new account and password and then tap Login. Your username is your full email address. The password is the one from when you created the account.
