School Climate Survey
Woodland Intermediate School students will be helping us assess our school’s environment by answering questions on our School Climate Survey. The survey will be taken during the months of November and March and is designed to learn more about student perceptions and experiences during this school year. Areas we look at include:
Bullying
How many students report that they have been bullied at school this year.
How students respond to the bullying.
How often students report bullying to an adult at school.
Whether or not bullying improves once it is reported to an adult at school.
School Connectedness
How many students have a trusted adult at school.
How satisfied students are with their friendships.
Whether or not students enjoy their school experience.
The data we collect will be used to ensure Woodland continues to be a safe learning environment for our students.
Please contact Tiffani Gelhar (School Counselor) at 730-0924 if you have any questions or concerns.
