FROM DR. B.
SCCS Parents:
I hope you had a great weekend!
I’m excited to share the results of our annual survey (taken early October) with you. Thank you to the many of you who took the survey. You will notice really encouraging results, and we are humbled by your trust in SCCS. We don’t take that lightly! We are blown away by the positive results of the survey and also continue to seek improvement.
Our leadership team has analyzed the results and sought to find trends and themes. You will notice on the document that we are exploring these items:
- Continue to analyze school communication methods and frequency
- Continue providing professional development opportunities to all faculty and staff
- Explore adding a learning center teacher to support student needs
- Explore providing an extra entrée serving for lunch to students in grades 7-8
Again, thank you for your participation and support! Make it a great week.
