Beginning Monday, April 20, 2026, through Friday, May 8, 2026, Olympia School District families, staff, and students in grades 3-12 are invited to participate in our Panorama Spring Climate Survey.
Here is a quick overview:
What
The Panorama Climate Survey is a tool our students, families, and staff members can take to gauge our overall well-being. Some of the items explored include:
- Do our students feel a strong sense of belonging?
- Do our families feel heard?
- Do our staff feel supported?
The data that we receive from the Panorama Climate Survey will inform decision-making.
The data show that “sense of belonging” is an area we need to strengthen. This has prompted professional development among administrators and staff to work toward increasing restorative practices throughout the district.
Why
- Using Panorama ensures that the well-being of our students, families and staff is a major focus in our decision-making and actions.
- The Panorama Climate Surveys (in fall and spring) are our base of input when hearing from our students and families to inform decision-making.
- The Panorama Climate Surveys allow us to get a temperature check of where we are as a community. It allows us to see where we may need to dive deeper into our data to be intentional in our support. While we need to make sure we have multiple ways to hear from and partner with our students and families, these surveys are one of the unique opportunities through which we can hear from all of them.
When
The Panorama Spring Climate Survey will take place Monday, April 20, 2026, through Friday, May 8, 2026. Please check with your home school for details on when it will host the Panorama Climate Survey for students.
