NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
In the spring of 2009 Whitefish Bay Schools became part of a regional consortium of North Shore School Districts in collaboration with PACE 3 (a Whitefish Bay parent advocacy group), and Cardinal Stritch University to begin a multi-year training in Cultural Competency. The WhitefishBay team is comprised of school board members, administrators, teachers and parents. The team has three goals: to establish a common language through building relationships and trust in order to create a compelling vision of cultural equality and educational excellence; to cultivate mindsets and behaviors which support equity and achievement and to assist in the development of a sustained system marked by a school climate which is beneficial to all students.
In an effort to develop a school climate that is beneficial to all students, our third goal, the consortium schools have surveyed all of our middle school and high school students about their school experiences. Now the consortium schools would like to survey all of our parents. These parent surveys will provide the district administrators and consortium team with information on parent's experiences with their school community along with the parent's opinion about their child's school experiences. The parent input is essential to developing a full picture of our current school climate by providing information on the schools strengths and weaknesses, so that we, as a school community, will better serve all students. We invite all parents to participate in the parent survey and assist district leaders in cultivating a school community that benefits all students while maintaining our long held commitment to academic excellence.
There are three surveys, one for each type of school (elementary, middle, and high school).
Please click on the link below to take the survey. The each survey takes about 20 minutes to complete.
If a parent has more than one school age child, then that parent has the option of just completing the survey for only one of their children or completing a new survey each of their children. Example: I have one middle school child and three high school children. I could complete just one survey for one of my high school children and I could stop there. Or I could complete one middle school survey and three high school surveys. (This option is explained in the survey.)
