| Question 1 - KES - What do you like about this school? | ||
| Topic 1 - Administration | ||
| Supportive (1) | My ideas are listened to and considered by administration. | |
| Topic 2 - Community/Parents | ||
| Supportive (1) | The support from the parents and community | |
| Involved (2) |
Openness for parents to be involved, part of the learning that goes on. | |
| Topic 3 - School | ||
| Size (6) | Small size, friendly | |
| It's a community school | ||
| Topic 4 - Students | ||
| Positive (2) | The children seem to feel comfortable coming to a warm friendly place where they are all called by name. | |
| Topic 5 - Staff | ||
| Communication (1) | There is always time to discuss a students needs. | |
| Dedicated/Friendly (3) | ||
| Question 2 - What do you wish was different at this school? | ||
| Topic 1 - Academic | ||
| Curriculum (2) | More integration technologist time | |
| That we go back to higher academic standards with less "fluff" activities. | ||
| Extra Help (2) | We need a reading specialist | |
| We need math tutor to support children. | ||
| Special Ed (1) | I believe the children have been neglected. For too many years there has not been enough teachers to help these children. Why was the principal unaware of this very important problem? | |
| Topic 2 - Administration | ||
| Communication (1) | I don't think our principal is aware of problems in our building or the staff as people. Changes seem to be made without any regard as to how it may affect a person or the students. The moral is low in our building. | |
| Topic 3 - School | ||
| Facility (1) | I wish I didn't have to share a classroom | |
| Library (1) | We need a media generalist for our library | |
| Technology (1) | Separate room for a computer lab so that the computers are up and running all the time. Setting up and shutting down is so time consuming. | |
| Topic 4 - Staff | ||
| Guidance Counselor (1) | More guidance counselor time | |
| Professional (1) | Additional professional staff to support staff and children | |
| Topic 5 - Students | ||
| Behavior (1) | We have suffered a decrease in our standards for respect and good manners in the name of making sure children always feel good about themselves. Sometimes children should feel badly, that is what a conscience is for. | |
| Topic 6 - Teaching | ||
| Communication (1) | Time for communication - special education coordinator. | |
| Dedication (1) | That all staff were 100% student centered | |
| Training (2) | Learn more about the "high" achieving students in our class - how to teach them and challenge them more. | |
