Pine Lane Crew,
Thank you for the outpouring of love and appreciation you have shown our staff this week! The decor, the food, the t-shirts, miscellaneous gifts, and notes of gratitude have been greatly appreciated. I reiterate, that it is a deep honor and privilege to be trusted with protecting, nurturing, and teaching your children each day.
Back in March we asked for your feedback on how we are doing as a school. I am so grateful for the 245 responses that we received. We value this information greatly as our role is to serve as a support for you as you raise your children and prepare them for life. From analyzing this data, we have identified a few areas that we will be focusing on for next year.
- Focus on improving our process for onboarding new families
- Potential student ambassador program
- Potential set schedule for school tours
- Potential school directory
- Better communication on how to resolve problem
- Special Education 1 page document to provide guidance for parents
- Online suggestion box
- Redefine school norms with students for various areas of the school (cafeteria, classroom, hallway, playground, etc…) that align with our habits of character (Perseverance, Leadership, Empathy, Bravery, Ethical, Accountable, Respect, and Service)
- Bring back our community events and school wide events to perpetuate our Crew culture and celebrate our successes together
Again, I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am for your honest and genuine feedback. If you would like a deeper dive into the data and our schools improvement efforts visit this link to the SAC meeting where this data was analyzed: 2021-3-24 SAC Mtg Recording.
We wish you all a wonderful weekend! And hopefully, they come home worn out and buzzing about field day!
