Many thanks to our Mount Sentinel Secondary School Academy PM students and teacher Jacy Schindel for producing this video. Thanks to District Principal Tamara Malloff for narration.
Our strategic plan sets SD8's mission, vision and priorities for 2024 through 2029. It will serve as a road map to ensure all partners in K-12 education work together so that all learners are enabled to develop their individual potential and acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be successful.
Thank you for participating!

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.254 responses
This survey is one of several tools and approaches SD8 will use to engage our partners to inform the 2024-2029 Strategic Plan. The survey asks four strategic questions and will take an estimated 10 to 30 minutes to complete, depending upon the depth of responses that participants wish to provide.
Survey responses are anonymous, and information provided will be used only to inform the SD8 strategic plan.
Participants are also asked two demographic questions at the outset of the survey to help SD8 understand more about the level of participation from our partners in education and our families of schools. You have an option not to answer these questions if you prefer.
Use the Question and Comment tool on the project page to find our more or provide further information.
Thanks for participating!
