SWHS Stakeholder Surveys 2026

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We value your input in helping us improve our school. As part of our continuous improvement process, we are conducting our annual Stakeholder Feedback Surveys for parents/guardians, school staff, and students in grades 3-12. These surveys are administered through the Cognia (our accrediting agency) platform and allow stakeholders to provide feedback to the school and district to inform the school’s and district’s continuous improvement process. All survey responses are anonymous.

We ask that you please take a few minutes to complete the parent/guardian survey linked below.

As indicated above, students in grades 3-12 will also be provided with the opportunity to complete surveys and provide feedback. Student surveys will be administered at school during the week of May 18, 2026.

For your reference, a list of frequently asked questions can be found below.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please reach out to the school.

Thank you for your time and support.

Sincerely,

Shawn Lovitt

Principal

What is the Purpose of Stakeholder Surveys? - Stakeholder surveys are designed to gather feedback from parents, students, and school staff about their experiences and perspectives of our school environment, policies, and programs. The goal is to identify strengths, address concerns, and make data-driven improvements that enhance student learning and overall school effectiveness. Your input helps shape decisions that support a positive and successful educational experience for all students.

Who takes the Stakeholder Surveys? - Stakeholder surveys are provided to all parents/guardians and school staff, as well as students in grades 3-12.

Who will see the survey responses? - Survey responses and data are available to school and district leadership. The results of the surveys are typically shared with school improvement teams as they analyze data, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies to address any concerns.

Will survey responses be anonymous? - Yes, survey responses are anonymous. Respondents are never asked to provide their name, and no personally identifiable information is asked to be provided. Questions related to basic demographics are optional.

What do I do if I have more than one child in Onslow County Schools? - If you have more than one child in the same school, please complete the survey once for that school. If you have children in different schools, please complete one survey for each school you have a child attending. Please note, each school will have a different survey link, so please be sure to use the link provided by each school you have a child attending.

What does the survey mean when it refers to the “governing body” in a question? -The “governing body” for Onslow County Schools is the Onslow County Board of Education.

What does the survey mean when it asks, “Our school shares responsibility for student learning with its stakeholders”? - This question refers to how the school collaborates with students, parents, teachers, and other school staff to support student learning and success. A school that shares responsibility ensures both families and educators are actively involved in education through communication, engagement opportunities, and supporting the student’s academic development. This may include things like parent-teacher partnerships, school-home communication, academic support programs, ensuring good attendance, providing homework support, etc.
