Wachusett Regional School District utilizes the Panorama student SEL survey to gather feedback and data related to our students' well-being and social-emotional learning (SEL). Panorama’s survey helps educators understand student perceptions of how supported they feel at school socially and emotionally and their own SEL skill development. This helps to inform our approach and supports at the student, school, and district level. For the 2022-2023 school year, the survey will be administered to students in Grades 3-12 across the district between October 3-21st, and again in the winter and towards the end of the school year. Panorama provides developmentally appropriate versions of the student survey for Grades 3-5 and students in Grades 6-12.  You can click to view sample student survey questions . If you have any questions about the SEL survey, please contact your school's  principal.

Every one of our schools has an emergency operations plan, which includes protocols for bomb threats, as well as other concerns.  These plans were developed in concert with local law enforcement and are reviewed regularly.  The safety and security of our students, staff, and schools is paramount and we will always inform
