Annual Survey CLOSES TODAY!

The Annual Survey is open now through Monday, February 10. This is an opportunity for you to tell our school and the District what is important to you, what we’re doing well and areas we need to improve so that we can meet the needs of our community. This interactive process helps our school and IUSD identify annual goals, act on those goals, and measure progress on academic achievement, school climate, and parent engagement as part of the 10-month LCAP process. It allows us to align our budget and educational goals while being accountable to our community.
 
The Annual Survey is available in multiple languages. Responses are anonymous, and it only takes a few minutes to complete the survey. 

Responses to the survey have helped to refine our instructional practices and expand our social and emotional learning objectives. Examples of this include:
 

• Refining our Homework plan which has significantly reduced the amount of time outside of school students spend on schoolwork.
• Lowering class sizes to 27 - 32 on average which is very low for middle school.
• Refined our grading and assessment practices where teachers accept all late work within the unit of study without penalty and providing students multiple opportunities to show their learning through test corrections and retakes.
• We have focused on teaching and reinforcing use of inclusive language, using intentional collaborative strategies in the classroom, and proactively responding to bias acts.
• We prioritize building positive relationships with students and teaching effective coping strategies.

Our recent National Blue-Ribbon School and California Distinguished School Awards are largely the work we have done as a staff using data from the annual survey so please know your voice truly matters and is heard. Our school, the IUSD Board of Education, the Superintendent's leadership team, and District staff review each and every response. By taking a few minutes to participate, you can help us shape the educational experiences of current and future generations of IUSD students.
