Glacier Ridge Gazette

Our students had a fantastic time during Read Across GRE Week! A huge thank you to Mrs. Gould and our student leaders for organizing such a wonderful celebration of literacy.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the generosity of our families. Thanks to your donations of gently used books, we’ll be able to support another school community in need.

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.

Some questions have been slightly modified to better match the developmental language of students. In addition, R-Factor questions (E+R=O) have been added to the questionnaire.

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.
