YOUTH TRUTH SURVEY
Dear Families,
We need YOUR voice!
Please take a moment to fill out this survey about the culture and community at Rancho!
Every year the NUSD community of students, staff, and families participate in the Youth Truth Survey which helps measure climate and culture at our schools. It is a vital metric used for setting goals and creating school improvement action plans.
The window for the survey is now open. Please take the time to provide your input and feedback!
Last year the data helped drive the need for adding our Eagle's Nest and helped the SITE Council create goals around building relationships and increasing community involvement!
Rancho is thriving, and it is because we are all working together towards common goals. Help us continue to improve by filling out the anonymous family survey!
