Climate Survey
Northern Burlington Regional School District is asking all stakeholders to participate in a Climate Survey that will collect useful data to gain multiple perspectives on aspects of school climate. Collecting data is important for understanding strengths and needs of our school and how it feels to be a member of the NBC community. Your voice is important to us, and your opinions will help us to address current priorities. The survey is anonymous, and it is voluntary. The survey will be available to all stakeholders until June 18, 2025.
We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to exploring new ways to continue working together to create the most supportive and engaging environment NBC Students, Families, and Faculty.
Please use the link or the QR code below to complete the survey.
