The Red Clover Award promotes the reading and discussion of the best of contemporary picture books in nearly all of Vermont's elementary schools. Each year over 20,000 K-4 students read, or have read to them, the ten nominated books.

Student Survey • Tuesday, May 15th

On Tuesday, May 22, 2012, Grand Isle School will conduct a very important study on the needs, attitudes, and behaviors of our students in grades 4 –8. The survey results will help us as we seek to address the developmental needs of our youth. Specifically, the results from the surveys will act as means to gather data for two programs supported by grant revenues, the Tobacco Grant and the 21st Century After-School– GRACE program.

For students in grades 4 – 6, the survey is titled Me and My World. Students in grades 7 and 8 will take the survey titled Search Institute Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors.

Both surveys will provide our school and community with a wide range of information, such as how students spend their time their perceptions of school, family, and community life and their participation in thriving behaviors as well as risky behaviors. Most important, the surveys will tell us the extent to which our students are experiencing Developmental Assets.

Developmental Assets are the “building blocks” of positive relationships, opportunities, skills and values that young people need to grow into healthy caring, and responsible adults. More information about Developmental Assets is available at the following web site: http://www.search-institute.org/developmental-assets

Additional Information
• Students will be given a class period (up to 75 minutes) in which to complete the survey. The survey is completed anonymously. No one will know how individual students respond to the questions
• All students within each classroom place their completed surveys into one envelope. The envelope is then sealed. All envelopes from our school are sent directly to Search Institute (Minneapolis, MN) for processing. No one at Grand Isle School will look at any of the completed surveys.
• The final report will present findings by the total group, by grade, and by gender. No individual student data are reported.
• Students are told that they do not have to take the survey. Their participation is voluntary, and they may skip items if they choose.
• The survey is not a test they take for a school grade. Their grades will not be affected if they do not take the survey. Non-participating students will be asked to sit quietly while others complete the survey.

Please give serious consideration for your child to participate in this study. A copy of the survey is available for your review in the Grand Isle School main office during normal school hours. The value of a study of this kind depends upon the participation of every student.
