Our school uses Panorama as an all-in-one data platform to support student learning. The tool helps teachers and administrators visualize and interpret data to directly improve student outcomes. We use the platform to monitor academic and behavioral progress with students as well as to raise awareness of their overall well-being. Panorama serves as an early warning system to help us provide a wide range of just-in-time information and related support to ensure high levels of success for all students.
This survey, within Panorama, guides us in understanding student perceptions relative to their classroom and school experiences. It covers 19 key components from teaching effectiveness to student engagement and growth mindset. It is administered in both the fall and spring.
Grades 3-6: This 8 question survey is estimated to take approximately 3 minutes to complete.
Grades 7-12: This 10 question survey is estimated to take approximately 4 minutes to complete.
This survey helps us measure and support your child’s soft skills, including growth mindset, self-efficacy, social awareness and self-management. It is also administered in both the fall and spring.
Grades 3-6: This 32 question survey is estimated to take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Grades 7-12: This 34 question survey is estimated to take approximately 11 minutes to complete.
This survey instrument provides feedback from students on their experiences in school. This information will help us create support systems for students so they feel safe, included and empowered to achieve. It is given only once per year (in the spring) to secondary students.
Grades 7-12: This 14 question survey is estimated to take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The results of the surveys are used to help our teachers, counselors, and administrators identify strengths and weaknesses, ensure appropriate student support, develop improvement plans and monitor progress. As with any organization, we continually strive to improve what we do with respect to supporting our students and their families. Thus, information gathered will be used at a district level to evaluate support and resource needs. The feedback from your child is an essential component of this process. All information collected will be maintained as educational records protected by HIPAA.
Panorama upholds and affirms several core commitments, which are in alignment with our status as a signatory to the Student Privacy Pledge.
Student personal information will be collected, used, shared, and retained only for purposes authorized by an educational institution/agency.

Panorama will not use or disclose student information collected through an educational/school service (whether personal information or otherwise) for targeting advertisements to students.
Panorama will not knowingly retain student personal information beyond the time period required to support authorized educational/school purposes, or as authorized by a parent/student.
Identifiable student level data is considered an education record and, pursuant to Utah Code 63G-2-107, is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 34 C.F.R. Part 99.
Other than the Utah State Board of Education, Weber School District does not have a contract with any person or governmental entity to receive the data on a regular ongoing basis.
Your child will be asked to complete the online surveys during school hours. For comparison purposes, they took the same surveys last fall and spring. Students in junior high and high school will also take the Student Equity and Inclusion Survey in the spring. All surveys are reasonably short and are completely confidential. Please click here if you would like to see the actual survey questions. Students who have been excluded from participation in the surveys will be given an educationally relevant activity to engage in while the other students are completing the surveys.
The surveys will be offered in October and April of each year and your child will complete them during the school day.
Weber School District values the partnership we have with parents in educating their children. If you approve of your child’s participation in these surveys, indicate your consent by indicating in the appropriate place in the registration materials on PowerSchool.
