Superintendent Brett Heller announced that Thompson School District R-2J will launch its sixth annual climate and culture survey on Oct. 13 and invited students, staff, families and community members to participate.
Heller said the district uses survey results to guide decisions about programming, staffing and processes and described this year’s questionnaire as “collaboratively created with a wide group of stakeholders.” He added, “This is a critical opportunity for you to share your voice and help us continue to improve our school district.”
The survey will be online and open to district community members; Heller specifically noted students in grades 3 through 12 will be asked to reflect on social-emotional skills, relationships with teachers and how safe and supported they feel at school. He said the information will help school staff and district leadership provide more “immediate and responsive support” and inform professional development and leadership relationships for teachers and staff.
Heller also announced shorter monthly check-ins this year to provide timely feedback during the school year. “The survey is online and will only take a few minutes of your time,” he said. “Your voice matters. Your feedback is our roadmap.”
The announcement did not include details on survey open or close dates beyond the Oct. 13 start, response deadlines, or data-release timelines.
