Together, parents and teachers create the social climate and the physical environment in which the soul of the school becomes visible."

Parent Survey 2010
Click this link to see the results of our recent WIWS Parent Survey!
We appreciate that 87% of WIWS families with children in Nursery through 8th grade responded to our 2010 Parent Survey. A full 96 out of 113 of our 2009-2010 enrolled children are represented in the survey table, accessible in the link provided above. Written responses to the three open-ended questions in the survey are not attached. Our Strategic Council received a full survey results report and are engaged in the process of determining what steps are necessary for school improvement. Thank you, participants, for helping to measure the current pulse of the school from the parental perspective, and thereby helping to improve our school for all of our children.
The first WIWS All-School Parent Survey was completed in April of 2009. The results of the all school survey are available here. The survey questions were designed to address general concerns and trends and to help with short- and long-term strategic planning.
