Hello! The Thomaston-Upson School System is required to administer stakeholder surveys as a part of an annual comprehensive needs assessment. These surveys gather perception data regarding many facets of the school district, identify strengths and weaknesses, determine the professional learning needs of staff, and set goals for our FY25 Continuous Improvement Plans (CIPs). The surveys are administered through Cognia, an accreditation, professional learning, and assessment organization that supports districts through customized improvement services. All survey responses are completely anonymous. There are 2 surveys available - 1 for parents & guardians and 1 for community members. Thank you in advance for assisting TU Schools in this process! Parent Survey: https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/249297/1804/1 Community Survey: https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/249252/1804/1

Please take a moment to complete these surveys about our schools. The surveys are completely anonymous. The district cannot track participants through email or IP addresses. Thank you for your participation! https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/249297/1804/1 https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/249252/1804/1

This is National School Counseling Week, a week that focuses public attention on the unique contributions of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different because of what school counselors do.

Join us this week in celebrating our wonderful school counselors at all TU schools and cheer them on as they help to prepare students for the challenges they face today and for the challenges they may face in the future!
