Dear Northwestern Local Schools Families,
As part of our district goals, we are committed to improving the climate in each of our school buildings, from student relationships to parent involvement. In order to accurately measure and improve our school’s climate, we will be administering a school climate survey to all members of the school community. Different versions of the survey will be given to students and staff, which will allow us to hear from every single member of our school community. The survey is designed by the National School Climate Center to assess perceptions of school climate, including feelings about safety, relationships, learning, the environment, and communication within the school.
Below you will find a link for each building. These links will also be available on our webpage if you have difficulty accessing them through this email. Please fill out ONE SURVEY for EACH BUILDING that you have students currently attending. Each survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your feedback is important to helping us understand and improve the specific climate issues in our school.
All responses are anonymous. There are no names or other personally identifying information attached to the survey. Furthermore, results will not be disaggregated for sub-groups with ten or fewer constituents in order to protect their confidentiality. The results will be compiled by the National School Climate Center and returned to the school district.
As stated, please help us by filling out ONE SURVEY for each of the school buildings in which you have students currently attending. If you should have questions regarding the survey, please contact Rachel Beun at 419-846-3974 or by email at
[email protected].
The survey links will be open on Friday, May 12.
All surveys must be completed no later than Friday, May 26.
The results from the report provided by the National School Climate Survey will be analyzed by our district leadership and PBIS teams and used to inform the planning of future school climate initiatives. Thank you for your help in providing important feedback to our schools.
