The MRH School District continues to take part in a School Climate and Culture Survey created by the University of Missouri and the National PBIS Center. The current DESE accreditation standards require that districts conduct climate & culture surveys with all parents/guardians, staff members, and students in grades 3-12 at least once per year. However, in response to the expressed importance of climate and culture from our community, MRH will conduct the survey twice per year in 2023-24 and 2024-25. 

The bi-annual schedule does allow us to have multiple data points:  

• 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. We did use your feedback last year to make some questions optional. That was very helpful.  

PLEASE COMPLETE THE FAMILY SURVEY NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MAY 30. In the fall, we had 398 respondents. 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 are anonymous and will become part of a report for the MRH School District. MRH staff will use this data to development overall improvement efforts. We are incorporating the survey data from staff, students, and families into building and District climate goals. In fact, climate and culture is a primary focus of our remaining professional development days and the data from the fall surveys is being used! We have recently met with student groups to share these results and work with them on identifying action steps.

If 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 & Culture Survey or choose for your child to not participate, please contact Vince Estrada: vince.estrada@mrhschools.net

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.

Stay Survey, 2022-2023

Stay surveys are designed to:

• Understand the specific reasons employees have for staying in MRH

• Understand employment practices from the employee’s perspective

• Develop next steps to improve employment satisfaction and strengthen positive workplace relationships  

Survey results can be found HERE.
