In early September, Fair Grove Schools invited students, families, community members, and staff to participate in our Culture and Climate Surveys. These surveys gave our school community an important opportunity to share feedback on what we're doing well and where we have opportunities to grow.
Since then, our district leadership team has reviewed the results, identified common themes, and developed next steps that align with our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP).
We believe meaningful feedback should lead to meaningful action. We are committed to sharing what we've learned, communicating our next steps, and continuing to work together to make Fair Grove Schools the best they can be.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate. Your voice matters, and we appreciate your continued partnership in making Fair Grove Schools a place where students and staff can thrive.
Our Next Steps
Based on feedback from our students, families, community members, and staff, we have identified five areas of focus. These action steps support goals already established in our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP).
1. Share What We Learned
Share the survey results and explain what we are doing in response. Use current staff meetings, family updates, and district communication tools.
Lead: Superintendent and principals
CSIP Alignment:
Community communication
2. Give Students a Stronger Voice
Count students involved in teams, clubs, and activities. Bring them together with coaches and sponsors to hear their ideas. Reach students outside those groups, too, and tell students how their feedback is used.
Lead: Principals, coaches, and sponsors
CSIP Alignment:
Student belonging and 90% activity participation goal
3. Keep People Informed and Supported
Make building updates clear and consistent. Have regular staff check-ins, listen to concerns, and help families stay informed about student progress.
Lead: Principals and department directors
CSIP Alignment:
Staff support and family communication
4. Improve Learning and Daily Services
Clarify how students receive extra help or more challenging work. Review technology, food service, and custodial concerns and follow through on needed improvements.
Lead: Instructional and department leaders
CSIP Alignment:
Student performance and district operations
5. Make Safety and Discipline Clear
Review concerns with students and staff. Make reporting procedures easy to understand and strengthen consistent follow-through on discipline.
Lead: Principals and safety staff
CSIP Alignment:
Safe schools and positive student behavior
How We Will Follow Through
We will use regular administration meetings to review what has been completed, what still needs attention, and whether feedback is improving.
