Principle- "Quality of instruction. As the principle here I am looking more for the quality of the staffs teaching rather than how much material they can cram into lessons day after day. They also need more school culture as a whole to make this more successful and run more smoothly"

Vice Principle- "Student interventions being implemented schoolwide over the coming years. We are phasing it in right now but would love to have all different types of interventions in place for students to get them back on grade level. Testing can be too much for students at times and the stress on them is too much to handle"

Behavior Management- " Students becoming more independent and responsible for their behavior. Behavior as a whole. Students don't act out for a reason, there has to be a reason why and as staff and students we can make them become more responsible for their words and actions to give them independence."

Nurse- " Community involvement, staff culture, social media, and ELL resources for the few we have."

Reading Intervention- "Interventions being implemented across the board as a whole for students. Curriculum timing, and behaviors being managed"

Parent 1- " All students should have equal and just punishments within the school for behavior"

Parent 2- "Chromebooks are a big part in the education process as times are growing faster, but students need to not be on them as much and rely on them. They are becoming addicted to them and rely on them too much"

Parent 3- "More support from other parents in the school to support and encourage students. We have little to no parent support and this affects the students performance in and outside of the classroom"

6th Grade Reading Teacher- "Focus on the long-term goals instead of getting caught up in short term things we have no control over as educators in this profession."

7th Grade Social Studies- " As teachers we often feel under appreciated in this field and while we are supported by all of the admin in this building, we need more parent support for us as well as for students. This will give them the encouragement they need in the classroom.

7th Grade Reading- "Advocating for special education resources in the classroom and letting them be more involved in the classroom setting. Many students attend my reading class but not all of them and I would love to have all of them attend and be a part of this."

8th Grade math- "More time for curriculum. We received new curriculum this year for math which we are all thankful for. But trying to learn this and getting all of the material in at the correct time even with years of experience is hard. Timing this out can become stressful and difficult as a teacher"

8th grade reading-"Parent support as an educator. When we make parent contact and recieve no contact back or rude comments back, this is where lack of support comes from. Students are not recieving at home as well as at school. Also as educators we are lacking the support we need."
