Panorama Surveys Begin Next Week

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.


This survey is being administered this year three times in fall, winter, and spring.  It will be administered next to students in Grades 3-12 across the district between January 30th and February 17th.


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.
