Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want every student to love learning, be proud of their school, and feel like an important part of their school community. In order to do this, we need to make sure that we listen to and learn from what they are experiencing every day.
To help meet this goal, your school is using a new survey called Cultivate. This survey will ask every student in grades 5-12 to share their perspective on learning experiences in the classroom. This information will help teachers, principals, and the district better understand how students feel in classes, and learn more about ways we can all improve.
Students will be asked to take this survey at school some time in November or December, and we will be excited to hear from them! We hope you will encourage your children to participate so that their perspectives are included in this important work.
If you have any questions about the survey, please reach out to your school directly.
Sincerely,
Bogdana Chkoumbova
Chief Education Officer

Estimados padres y tutores legales:
Queremos que cada estudiante ame el aprendizaje, esté orgulloso de su escuela y sienta que es parte importante de su comunidad escolar. Para lograr esto, necesitamos asegurarnos de que escuchemos y aprendamos de todo lo que le ocurre cada día.
Para lograr esta meta, su escuela utilizará una nueva encuesta llamada Cultivate. La encuesta le pedirá a cada estudiante de quinto a duodécimo grado que comparta su perspectiva sobre sus experiencias en el aula. Esta información ayudará a los docentes, los directores y el distrito a entender mejor cómo se sienten los estudiantes en las clases y a aprender más sobre cómo todos podemos mejorar.
De tener preguntas sobre esta encuesta, favor contacte a su escuela directamente.
Sinceramente,
Bogdana Chkoumbova
Directora de educación
