It’s Feedback February - Student Experience & School Climate
Providing a safe, welcoming and caring school environment while partnering with our families has positively impacted student learning and personal growth. As we continue to measure these attributes of our school climate, engaging our students and families will help us assess where we have been, and where we currently are and identify opportunities to improve and grow for the future.
We invite our students and families to share their student experience and school climate this year. Leander ISD is partnering with K12Insights to help us collect your feedback. The results of this survey will provide critical evidence of progress for our LISD Strategic Plan, Campus and District Improvement Plans, and our Community-based Accountability System (CBAS). They will be used by campus and district leaders to guide our ongoing improvement efforts.
The LISD Student Experience/Climate Surveys for students (grades 3 - 12) and parents will be open from Feb. 22 to Mar. 19.
PLEASE CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY.
Spring Class Pictures:
Tuesday, March 7, Photo Texas will be on campus taking class and individual photos. There will be a photographer taking yearbook photos for any new students or those that have missed photo day so far this year. Please make every effort to have your student on campus that day so we can have a complete yearbook! Order forms will be in Wednesday folders, or you can order online:
