November 2025 Comprehensive Review Executive Summary
| Strategic Priority Three | Create Culture of 7 C’s with School as an Experience |
| Why is this important | Attendance data reinforces the importance of students being present, engaged, and connected to school. Student survey results highlight the importance of belonging, trusted relationships, student voice, and meaningful school experiences. Behavior and climate data demonstrate the need to strengthen resilience, self-regulation, executive functioning, and positive peer interactions. Participation data shows students benefit from meaningful involvement in leadership, activities, service, and experiences beyond the classroom. Student planning and reflection data support providing earlier and more intentional opportunities to explore strengths, interests, and future possibilities. Research on child and adolescent development emphasizes that developmentally appropriate, in-person experiences build the knowledge, relationships, and transferable skills that support lifelong success. Healthy technology practices preserve opportunities for face-to-face interaction, active participation, reflection, and a strong sense of belonging. Character development and exploration help students become capable, resilient, and confident learners while discovering their individual interests and pathways. |
