Panorama Survey

Building our social-emotional learning (SEL) skills is an important goal for our school. This school year, students and teachers will participate in several exercises to better understand these concepts and to reflect on how students perceive these skills in themselves.

We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing at school twice during the year. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete and will take place in October and March.

The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on topics, such as their attitude toward school, growth mindset, managing emotions, and friendships.

We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our support to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential. We are partnering with a third-party vendor to support us in administering these surveys.

The questions included on the survey are listed below.
