Alternative School Self Evaluation Study-- Please Participate!!

For some time now a group of teachers/parents/principals have been working on getting feedback about what makes alternative schools in Seattle an alternative school. Where do we live up to our mission, and where do we need to go further?

The school board gave us an important nod of recognition when, rather than do an “outside” audit, they agreed it would not yield good data if, as expected, those doing the audit did not really understand alternative school missions.

The results of your feedback will be important for us at Salmon Bay as we work to improve the school, and will also be important to the school district as they determine how to sustain alternative education in Seattle Public Schools.

We’d like to see a HUGE participation from Salmon Bay families. Eventually the data will be combined with data from other alternative schools in Seattle School District, as a self-audit report, and presented to the school board sometime this spring. Preliminary results of the survey will be also be shared with Salmon Bay families at the same time. 

The anonymous survey can be completed online by clicking this link:

We would ask you to please help us by completing it as soon as possible and no later than Friday March 11.  If you would prefer a paper version one can be obtained in the main office. Questions about the survey itself can be directed to one of our parent board directors: contact Caleb Banta-Green at cbantagreen@gmail.com.
