Answer these 3 questions: 1) What are we doing well? 2) What do we need to improve? 3) How might we address the concerns? I look forward to your input!]]> 2016-09-12 22:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123305385 april_sellers https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123548070 1. showing students that we as faculty care about them-doing well
2.increasing rigor in classes and offering more AP classes-need to improve
3. have academic requirements for being able to take honors classes so that they don't become watered down for the students who aren't capable.]]> 2016-09-13 17:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123548070 whitney_erwin https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123596086 1. Caring and helpful teachers and faculty.
2. Student's treatment among peers and bullying.
3. Promote positive self-image (i.e. sticky note activity, give a compliment/give one.  ]]> 2016-09-13 19:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123596086 priscilla_haynes https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123636083
1. many students mentioned that they liked seeing their friends, liked the supportive environment and that they had teachers who cared
2. I saw a lot of comments about favoritism towards some students ('haves' vs. 'have nots'); several mentioned that they struggle to sit through long classes or needed more engaging activities during a long class
3. there were also concerns about academics and AP classes (we could possibly have more communication with students about online AP possibilities); maybe some anti-bullying training to help us know what to look for...I think we all try to be aware, but obviously it is going on based on student comments]]> 2016-09-13 23:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123636083 ahdyal https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123743307
1. We offer lots of good opportunities for students through sports, clubs, MOWR, CTAE, and other organizations such as chorus.
2. We need to improve our relationships with our students and our students relationships with each other. Many people mentioned teacher favoritism and bullying as being issues.
3. I think we need to do a better job of building relationships and not putting so much pressure on students as far as testing goes. We sometimes make them feel like a score, rather than people. I think we could also have more activities that are fun that help our students feel like more of a family.]]> 2016-09-14 13:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123743307 barbee_griffis https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123865221
1. The students for the most part seem to like the faculty, staff, and administration and the supportive, friendly atmosphere of the school.
2.The students remarked about favoritism and racism which I just do not see, but I guess since it is on there multiple times it must be...of course the food issue needs to be addressed and it is my hope that we will have soccer added to sports available at ACHS and, as time goes on, more AP classes offered. I also think we need ROTC and Art classes back
3. The favoritism and racism issues need to be  addressed...specifics on when/where it is occurring will have to be identified first; it would be nice if we could have more fun and interesting activities and assemblies for the students.]]> 2016-09-14 17:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123865221 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123910465 1. The students seem to enjoy the variety of learning opportunities/activities available at ACHS. They mentioned AP, CTAE Pathways, Extra Curricular Teams/ Activities and others.
2. We need to improve our school lunches-portion size, food choices/selections, and cooking methods.
3. Students need to identify what is good/positive/enjoyable in the lunchroom. Then ACHS could allow students to identify the things that are least enjoyable. This could start a working list that is student centered and identify biggest needs and changes. There are so many things that are required when planning lunchroom meals so identifying what they like most could be a starting point.]]> 2016-09-14 19:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/123910465 amber_thornton https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124140260 1. Seeing friends, challenging classes and move on when ready options, and supportive staff.
2. Favoritism, the way people treat each other, and waking up early.
3. We could offer more activities that offer students with differing interests and abilities the opportunity to interact without academic pressures. It is understandable that some (probably most) of our students feel that they have to wake up too early, but I am not sure how we can address this as a school. ]]> 2016-09-15 17:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124140260 miriam_johnson https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124171643 2. I like having soap in the bathrooms also!  I also don't like to worry about tests either!
3.  Some of our students want more rigorous classes.  We are working toward having a program that would make an Honor's class more of a true honor's class.  I would also like to have other electives for our students to explores-art for example.  We have a lot of creative students.]]> 2016-09-15 18:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124171643 rebecca_ammons https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124178227 1.  Extracurricular activities rank high among our students.  Many do feel the teachers care about them. They like Food Fridays (probably because they dislike the lunch food and portions so much).
2. Students complain about favoritism and school lunches.  Several mentioned the need for more AP classes.
3. Relationship building. We need to find a way to build community as a school so that all students feel a part. ]]> 2016-09-15 18:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124178227 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124196704 1. Choices/Pathways,
Band/Chorus/Athletics, Helpful caring teachers and admin.
2. Favoritism, bullying, honors criteria
3. Ask student opinions and use their feedback to help make decisions

2. Students want more engaging activities to assist with the getting bored during the school day.
3. Students understand that even though a lot of them may not be friends, they can be friendly.]]> 2016-09-16 14:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124352146 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124414921 1. For the most part, students feel like they have a welcoming environment and enjoy at least one class/teacher when they come to school.
2. Obviously, the school nutrition options are lacking. Also, I see students who are looking for a "family" in their school. 
3. To improve "family" in our school, we need to provide opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities during the school day. This would increase involvement for students who do not have any transportation other than the bus.  ]]> 2016-09-16 16:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124414921 ashley_smith9 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124709358 Feedback!

1) Student support via teacher and administration. 
2) Lunchroom food, favoritism, bullying, teacher support, and more AP classes....apparently CHEMISTRY!!! 
3) Look at alternatives to food options with lunchroom staff. Discuss options from counties near us and what they offer. Have options available for like pizza or hamburger purchases one day a month or maybe a free delivery day for reward. Use this as a discussion piece to get the students talking about what they mean because at times what they suggest as favoritism may not necessarily be favoritism in the teachers eyes. AP classes are being pushed and we are attempting that already. Maybe student surveys of what they want offered would help. I guess Chemistry will have be to more enjoyable.. My personal GOAL!!!]]> 2016-09-19 12:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124709358 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124732629 2.  Too many students seem to feel that all teachers aren't doing their job and do not care about them/favoritism
3. Work to improve food in the cafeteria and get students involved in what they would like to see happen with it]]> 2016-09-19 13:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124732629 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124863972
1. providing a good environment, supportive teachers, and extracurricular activities. also, students love their food Fridays!
2. As many students listed teachers in "what I like least" as they did in the most category. shows how differently students are experiencing high school. There is also much concern about bullying and lack of respect.
3. Continue working on building relationships and boosting morale. Help students feel that their input is important and taken into account when making decisions.]]> 2016-09-19 18:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124863972 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124894676 1. teacher are supportive, caring environment, Dr. Starr
2. some students are treated differently - favoritism, parking lot unsafe, some AP classes are lowered for struggling learners, not enough AP classes offered, lack of teacher effort in some of the classrooms.
3. Teachers make an effort to treat students equally. Make sure if students are taking AP - they should be taking it. ]]> 2016-09-19 20:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124894676 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124906095 2016-09-19 21:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/124906095 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125006359 1. Noted a caring and supportive staff/ administration.
2. Improvement needed in bullying, lunch and AP classes
3. Anti-bullying campaigns/ training, student survey to identify changes needed in lunchroom, make sure ALL students know the criteria needed to be in AP. Also, make sure every student feel their voice matters.]]> 2016-09-20 10:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125006359 cbdavis https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125029079 1. A lot of students commented on the various programs and opportunities at ACHS.  Many also noted a supportive faculty.

2. A lot of students complained about favoritism and how much they disliked the teachers (shows a disparity since many also commented on how teachers were what they liked most!)  OH!  And the food!  (But how much control do we REALLY have over that?)

3. Building relationships, seeking input from a wider variety of students, adding more rapport-building activities]]> 2016-09-20 12:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125029079 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125032192 1. For the most part, students feel like they have at least one teacher/class they feel the teacher is genuine concern  about them and their education.
2. Student want school lunches and portion sizes to improve.
3. Continue to have student surveys and anti-bulling campaigns, and provide students the
 opportunity to participate in extra-curriculum activities during the school day.]]> 2016-09-20 12:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125032192 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125059599 1) Opportunities for our students. The students enjoy having such a verity of options.
2) Relationships. We are sometimes the only positive influence some kids have. ALL of our students want to be LOVED and know they are supported.
3) Be visible. Be around and supportive. When kids see us at games, concerts, events, etc they know we are invested in them. If we invest in them, they will invest in us and ACHS! ]]> 2016-09-20 13:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125059599 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125107324 1.  We are being supportive and most students feel teachers really care about them.
2.  Offer more AP classes, avoid favoritism, increase rigor in all classes
3. Encourage enrollment in the AP courses we offer. Make an effort to self-identify behavior students perceive as "favoritism". Requirements are in place for next year's freshmen entering honor's classes.]]> 2016-09-20 14:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125107324 https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125188510 1. ACHS offers a variety of choices for our students and they commented on the supported and friendly staff.
2.  Favoritism, bullying, and of course, the horrible lunchroom food were items that we needed to work on.  I did like the comments about having an Honors Criteria and that the Honors Program was becoming more of a social club that students needed to work to enter/remain a part of--Great idea.  I also liked the student who commented that we should ask them for more input, "they have good ideas!"
3. In the future, I believe that we need solicit student opinions on items. ]]> 2016-09-20 18:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_williams1/frlffiyek2dg/wish/125188510
