Save The Date: SAC Family Survey |
We want to hear from you! Our annual SAC family survey will open soon and we encourage all PRA families to take this brief survey. This is your chance to share your voice and make a difference at PRA! Information about this year’s survey: The link will be shared on Monday, Feb. 2 via email and posted in Miner Mail that same week.
The survey will be open from Feb. 2 through Feb. 12. Responses are completely anonymous. We ask that families take the survey once for each child you have at PRA. There will be a question asking which level your child attends at the end of the survey. The grade, Middle Mountain, or Peak with the most parent participation will be awarded 500 gold coins or 500 Peak points!
Why Is the Survey Important? Feedback from our families is an important tool for PRA and every PRA voice matters to us! We take the data from this survey, including your comments, and look at ways to improve. Last year, your feedback led to the creation of a new driveline procedure, a reduction in the number of online homework assignments, and revisions to our student dress code. Why Panorama? Panorama Education’s products help educators collect, analyze, and act on data to improve student outcomes. The survey will be standardized nationally. Using Panorama as our survey tool allows PRA to shorten the survey and compare our results to PRA’s past results and now to national averages. Survey Results Once the survey is complete, PRA will share the overall results with you in Miner Mail. We thank you in advance for your participation and thoughtful responses. |
