District reports enrollment dip to 3,438; rebranding and parent surveys underway
Summary
Communications staff reported current enrollment at 3,438 (108 fewer than a year ago), said rebranding work for the middle and high schools is underway, and described parent and perception surveys and several community events and partnerships.
Communications staff told the board the district is rebranding the middle and high schools, running parent and perception surveys, and tracking several community events that support student engagement.
“Today, we are at 3,438 students, and that is 108 fewer than we were a year ago,” the communications staff reported. The staff said the rebranding project is progressing and includes a newly updated high-resolution mascot image and an official font; staff aim to finish by June and roll out new materials next school year.
The communications staff said 372 parent surveys were completed so far and that staff will compile and present results over the summer. Perception surveys for students (grades 3–6 and 7–12) and staff surveys are also being distributed; a graduate survey will include added perception questions from the district.
Staff highlighted several school activities funded from activity accounts, including a Lehi League competition, HOSA participation and PBIS leadership expenses. The presenter described creative uses of activity funds at Meadows — including a Top Gun–themed incentive tied to attendance — and praised Principal Lisa’s work in building school climate.
The communications update also noted partnerships and events with external groups: a potential summer reading partnership with Costco for elementary summer school, Civic Nebraska’s Kid Governor program for fifth graders, and local business involvement in a vehicle day for first graders.
