HSE Schools will be participating in a Panorama survey again very soon between October 25-November 15. In the spring of 2019, HSE Schools began using the Panorama survey to better understand student’s experience in our schools. This survey helps HSE teachers, administrators and counselors gauge student growth and understanding around social and emotional competencies, which contribute to academic success and increase engagement in the classroom.

All students K-12 will take the Panorama survey between October 25 and November 15.
