Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our school is implementing a whole-school transformational process called the Leader in Me, which teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
Our school will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all staff members, parents/guardians, and students in Grade 4 and up to participate.
Parent Participation If you decide to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey (without sharing your name or other identifying information) that will be available through the web link below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household.
The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child's experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth.
Please take the survey here: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/west-elementary-school-newcomerstown-oh-oh/families
Please complete the survey by: May 29, 2025.
Thank you so much for your feedback!

West School students are having a change drive! All money raised will go to Jaxon's Bricks for Bravery. Students can "vote" for the staff member they want to see get a pie in the face by placing change in their envelope. The top 5 staff members with the most money in their envelopes will get a pie in the face! And 5 lucky students will be drawn to deliver those pies! 🫣
