Student and Community Survey Results 2019-2020
The WCSD Wellness Committee has conducted student (grades 7-12) and community surveys in March 2019. This is the third year that a Wellness survey has been conducted. While the promotion of these surveys has increased, the participation levels have not followed suit. The Wellness Committee received responses from approximately 1.83% of the student population surveyed. Approximately 420 community members responded to the survey. At this time, the Wellness Committee does not feel that the survey's participation provides a representative sample of WCSD as a whole. As such, the results will not be posted on the website. Thank you for your support.
