Satisfaction & Engagement Surveys Launched for Students, Parents and Employees |
|
As part of its continued commitment to educating all students for success, the Martin County School District has launched its annual Satisfaction and Engagement Surveys, which provide stakeholders the opportunity to give feedback on their level of satisfaction and engagement with school- and District-based programs, outreach efforts, initiatives and resources.
Teachers, students, school-based staff and parents are encouraged to complete the surveys, which will be compiled by Instructional Services staff and distributed to schools and departments to help inform practices and create school improvement goals.
“The ability to gather and synthesize feedback from all stakeholder groups is key to our school district’s mission of educating all students for success,” said Dr. John D. Millay, Superintendent of Schools. “The annual Satisfaction and Engagement Surveys provide us with important insight about things we are doing well and areas which will require continued focus in our quest to become a dynamic educational system of excellence. I encourage all students, parents and employees to take a few moments to provide their invaluable feedback through their completion of this year’s surveys.”
The Satisfaction and Engagement Surveys are available for completion now and will be open for responses through Friday, April 8, 2022. Parents/caregivers who have children enrolled in more than one school are encouraged to complete the parent survey for each school.

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child! Students in Ms. Holland's classes at Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School participated in meaningful Read Across America Day lessons!
"After a discussion about Dr. Seuss and his life, I read Oh the Places You’ll Go! aloud to the class," Ms. Holland shared. "We then talked about how this book is really written for middle schoolers and how they have choices in life - they will have ups and downs, but their life is theirs to choose the path to take. They had to write a letter to their future selves twenty years from now explaining what they wanted from their lives and where they hoped to be."
