Dear Parents/Guardians, We are excited to announce we have opened another feedback gathering session on our team-based teaching model. Your input, along with that of your child, is invaluable to us as we strive to continuously improve the learning experience for all students. After the first round of feedback, we reviewed the data and made some adjustments so this round of feedback is equally important. At Concord Community Schools, we believe that feedback is a powerful tool for growth and improvement. By listening to the voices of our students, parents, and staff, we can identify areas of strength and areas where we can make improvements. Your feedback will help us to: Enhance student engagement: We will use your insights to develop more engaging and interactive learning experiences. Optimize learning outcomes: We will analyze your feedback to identify effective teaching strategies and adjust our curriculum as needed. Strengthen the parent-teacher partnership: Your feedback will help us to build stronger relationships with you and keep you informed about your child's progress. In addition to this parent survey, we will also be administering a student survey to gather their perspectives on the team-based teaching model. To help us better understand your perspective, we kindly request that you take a few minutes to complete the following survey. The survey can be accessed either through the link below or the QR code. Parent Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfQnTSHu8cHP1sCkFiHxxI9tvsUDRSj0nX1ZesW0KPte9YWlg/viewform?usp=sharing This survey will ask about your child's experience with the team-based teaching model, including their engagement, academic progress, and overall satisfaction. Your honest feedback will help us identify areas of strength and areas where we can make improvements. We ask that the feedback be specific to the learning experience within the model. If you have other concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. The survey will be confidential. We will close the survey on Friday, March 14, 2025. Thank you for your time and support. We value your partnership in providing the best possible education for your child. Sincerely, #ONEHIVE Dr. Becky Hutchinson, Superintendent Concord Community Schools Office 517-524-8850
