Student Survey |
Ms. Loker |
- Fall survey: 332 responses. Most were qualitative.
- Do you feel safe on campus? Lots of positive feedback. Many (almost half) referenced teachers and how they help them feel safe on campus – ID checks at the door, adults visible on campus, and caring teachers.
- Messaging and branding: What is the best way to receive information? Top response was Instagram. Also effective were NCTV, Facebook, email, loudspeaker announcements, school website, flyers. Parent perspective: Many Instagram accounts, sometimes causing confusion.

Student Report |
StuGo |
- Homecoming: Assembly went well, but a little behind in scheduling. Biggest concern is that students don’t stop talking, especially during the National Anthem.
- Homecoming Spirit Week: Boosters funded it.
- Homecoming Dance: Had a little incident and lighting challenge. We will work on it next time. Challenge with students bringing ID. StuGo will mention on Instagram for the next dance.
- Phoenix Hospital: We are working on a possible toy drive.
- Preparing for Hoopcoming: Date to be determined, probably in February.
- Going to ask students via poll if they want to be semi-formal or casual dance.
- Fundraisers: More than $800 raised so far.
- Food Drive: Key Club will take over.
- Parent input: Disappointed there wasn’t any fanfare for the game. Not a lot of Homecoming celebration. More focus was on the dance. They suggested more collaboration between groups involved with Homecoming for the game.
- Maybe color streamers on handrails.
- Royalty ride around the track.
- Push hard with football parents.
