Message from the Director

Dear Parents,

This week (Wednesday and Thursday) our learners in grades 5-6 ​will participate in the Gallup Student Poll.

Gallup launched the Gallup Student Poll in 2009. Gallup provides analytics and advice to organizations around the world. The Gallup Student Poll is a brief, 24-item survey available on the web for students in grades 5 through 12. One time per year in the fall, the survey is provided at no cost to schools. The Gallup Student Poll includes the following themes:

• Engagement is the student’s involvement in and enthusiasm for school.
• Hope is the ideas and energy students have for the future.
• Entrepreneurial aspiration is the talent and energy for building businesses that survive, thrive and employ others.
• Career/financial literacy is the information, attitudes and behaviors that students need to practice for healthy participation in the economy.

The Gallup Student Poll gives learners a voice in building great schools, and results provide schools with important, actionable information beyond standard measures, such as grades and test scores, to help schools make kids ready for the future. Please visit the Gallup Student Poll homepage on the web at http://www.gallupstudentpoll.com to view the survey items and learn more. To date, there have been over 4 million completes of the Gallup Student Poll.

This survey is anonymous and voluntary. That means Gallup cannot identify your student, and your learner’s individual responses will not be shared with anyone. Only grade-level and school-level information will be shared with our school. Your learner does not have to participate in this survey. There are no consequences or penalties if your learner does not participate. Please email me directly if you have any questions or if you would like your learner to opt out of this poll.

Thank you!

​Mrs. Bowes​
