Student wellness is an essential component of educating the whole child. During the weeks of March 13 to March 24, Dublin City Schools students in grades 3-12 will have the opportunity to participate in a questionnaire asking their perceptions about school and student support.

There are two versions of the questionnaire, one for students in grades 3-5 and one for students in grades 6-12.

Panorama Opt-Out Spring 2026

Please note that a new opt-out form must be submitted for the Spring administration, even if one was provided previously for the Fall administration.

When completing the questionnaire, students will be encouraged to reflect on their own mindsets, approaches to learning, and feelings about school. The results will help us to better understand how we can alleviate barriers to learning, promote a sense of belonging, and how to best support the needs of students.

If you have questions about how this questionnaire helps us meet district goals, please contact Dublin City Schools’ Director of Student Wellness, Tyler Wolfe at wolfe_tyler@dublinschools.net.
