District Receives Annual Survey Results

Posted 8-01-16

The Swallow School District annually administers overall satisfaction surveys to students in grades 3-8, all parents, and all staff. At their monthly work session on July 22, the school board received results from this Spring’s administration of the surveys from Bill Foster of School Perceptions, the survey administration company.  Overall satisfaction and most ratings on survey questions as rated by all three groups improved as compared to the 2015 survey data.  Copies of the full reports are available here:

Student Data               Parent Data                  Staff Data

School Perceptions also organized comments from parent and staff respondents into themes and selected representative comments for review.  Those can be accessed here:

Parent Comment Themes                    Staff Comment Themes

Thank you to all who participated in these surveys and provided useful feedback to help the district take note of points of celebration and things valued by the community, as well as areas to guide next steps to better meet the needs of students, parents, and staff.  The school board and administration will be reviewing this feedback and using it to assist with long range and strategic planning for the district in the coming months.

Swallow Announces Community Conversations Series
Posted 4-6-16

The Swallow School District is pleased to announce that it will be holding a Community Conversations series during the month of April. All school district residents and currently attending open enrollment families are invited to join the school board and administration to provide feedback in three focus areas: Curriculum & Programming, Services, and Building & Grounds. Within each area the district is soliciting specific feedback about: Why do you love Swallow? Where do you want to see Swallow 3-5 years from now & why? How could and would you support this vision for the future? What didn’t we ask that is important to you regarding this area of focus?

This year’s Community Conversations series builds upon the district’s work over the past five years to continuously improve curriculum and programming, services to the school community, and ensure the building and grounds are well-maintained and support these functions adequately. The schedule for Community Conversations is as follows--please RSVP for the one that best fits your schedule.

For more information please contact Melissa Thompson, Superintendent at 262-367-2000 x108 or thompson@swallowschool.org.
