Update on School Improvement Perception Surveys 2011
The Department of Education and Early Childhood
Development has been conducting school improvement surveys for several
years.
These have included all parents, all
teachers, and students in grades 4-12 in all schools.
The surveys focus on characteristics of
schools that are related to school effectiveness and are used for
planning and improvement for schools, districts and the department.
This year, the Department will begin a new survey
cycle whereby all schools will receive the full set of three surveys
every two years.
Teacher surveys will continue annually.
In addition, schools participating in the
provincial school improvement reviews (15% of schools chosen at random
each year), will also receive all three surveys.
For our school, this means parent and student surveys will be
distributed next school year.
The most current results for our school can be
found at:

alongside the school�s provincial
assessment results.

Macdonald Consolidated School was built in
1904. The original school was destroyed by fire in 1909, and
the present building was opened to students the following year.
An extension was added to the school (seen on the left) to
eliminate the many portable classrooms that were in use."
