Superintendent outlines communications plan, app pilot and district surveys
Summary
Superintendent Matt described plans to streamline district communications using a PowerSchool-compatible messaging app, pilot teacher uptake, and run family and student surveys (family survey in October; student and family results shared in winter).
Superintendent Matt presented a communications overview and said the district will pilot a messaging app that integrates with PowerSchool (SchoolMessenger/PowerSchool family products under consideration) and ask administrators to adopt it early. He said the district will pilot teachers at each level and provide training, while recognizing some teachers use long-established classroom apps.
Matt described a family survey (run with ThoughtExchange) to go out in October and a student survey for grades 4—2 to capture belongingness, mental-health concerns and interest in course offerings; the first family results are expected in November or December and the district will share findings with the board and public. He said the district will continue a mix of in-person outreach, Zoom webinars and posted recordings to make content accessible.
