Graduate Survey Planned
Sentral Community School District has contracted LifeTrack Services, Inc. to conduct graduate surveys. Never before has it been so important to ascertain whether our graduates have been prepared for the direction that he/she has chosen after graduation. In order for Sentral to get a true picture of our educational system, we will be asking our graduates questions about our school and their experiences here. The information collected will be invaluable to Sentral as an accountability piece, as a source of identifying school improvement strategies, and as a tool to help us analyze our curriculum and programs.
The surveys will be administered three times: the first will be in April of their senior year, the second will be mailed and administered 18-24 months after graduation, and the third will be sent out 60 months after graduation. In between surveys, public relations letters will be mailed to the graduates to help keep-in-touch. All of the surveys are completely confidential and, once the information is compiled, the original surveys are returned to the school.
One added bonus of the services is the 1-800-REUNION advantage that creates a central registry for life of the classes. This will add in organizing and planning class reunions and is a quick and easy way to keep a class together forever.
Sentral Community School District has a lot invested in our students; it makes sense to survey the students to follow up on our investment.
