District Parent Satisfaction Survey
Dear Wildcat Families,
Our District is on a continuous journey to make our schools the best places for students to learn, staff to work, and parents to send their children for a good education. In this effort, we appreciate your support. It is important to gather feedback from you to celebrate successes and identify areas for growth. Please take a few minutes and complete this Parent Satisfaction Survey to help provide this feedback.
Once the survey is complete, the results will be analyzed by an outside organization. The data from the survey will be sent to each school and the Superintendent. Then, the results of the survey will be shared with parents and the community.
The survey can be accessed online at: Litchfield Elementary School District #79 Parent Satisfaction Survey. The survey will be open from February 1 - 15.
Thank you for interest in and support of your child’s education with us.

Spotlight on Social Emotional Learning
Positive Intent - Judging Others Intentions: Most of us are unaware of how much time we spend trying to figure out other's motives, essentially what they are "really up to." Rather than accepting the moment as it is, we spend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to determine others' motivations in efforts to plan a response that protects us from possible attack, humiliation, appearing ungrateful, etc. The Power of Love encourages us to see past our filters and the falseness of our judgements, come to the present moment, and choose to see the best in others.
Many children learn inappropriate ways of expressing emotion and getting their needs met, either through direct teaching of strategies or through modeling of negative behaviors from adults. When a child makes a decision we dislike, we label them as "bad"; however, when a child makes a decision we like, we label them as "good". When we set aside punitive approaches and see difficult behavior as a call for help, we free ourselves to set limits and teach new skills in a healthy manner. They are able to reflect, claim ownership and clarity of their actions.
