Parent/Guardian Climate/Culture Survey, Spring 2024

The MRH School District is taking part in a School Climate and Culture Survey created by the National Center on PBIS. The current DESE accreditation standards require that districts conduct climate and culture surveys with all parents/guardians, all staff members, and students in grades 3-12.

MRH has decided to conduct this survey twice a year (fall and spring) to learn about our climate and culture in a couple of different ways.  

• How does our climate and culture change from fall to spring in the same year?
• How does our Climate and Culture change year to year?

These surveys are designed to give schools the information they need to promote a positive school experience for all. Please answer thoughtfully. While all questions must be answered for your survey to be submitted, you may mark "I prefer not to answer" for questions about you.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE FAMILY SURVEY NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 29.

In the Fall, we had 300 respondents. Our goal is to meet or exceed that number. We are hoping for 400+ families to participate in the spring survey.

Please take a few minutes to answer the PARENT/GUARDIAN survey at this link.

Responses from all parents will be anonymous. MRH will use this information to improve our climate and culture at MRHIf you have more than one child in school, you have two options:

• Complete one survey for the entire family, OR
• Complete one survey for each student if their experiences in their respective schools vary significantly
  

Students in grades 3-12 will be taking the surveys during school class time.

If you would like more information about the Student Climate and Culture Survey or choose for your child not to participate, please contact Student Services Director Vince Estrada.

Thank you for your cooperation.

RESULTS: Follow-Up Family Communications Survey, January/February 2024

This past winter, the MRH Communications Department appealed to all families in the District to complete a follow-up survey with questions about the weekly newsletters and messages received from our principals and classroom teachers. The survey was intended to gauge families' level of satisfaction with such newsletters since the original survey in the spring of 2023. We are grateful to those who responded during the month-long survey period (141 responses, or, just 16% of all MRH families.) The findings can be viewed HERE.

In order to ensure that communications practices align with the MRH 5-year Strategic Plan, these survey results will be reviewed for possible action steps by the "For Our Community" Management Oversight Team (MOT), which comprises District staff members and parents. The MOT team will then present recommendations to a School Board Advisory Committee, led by Board Director Linda Robinson. The MOT group meets monthly throughout the year; the Board committee plans to assemble quarterly.
