Minnesota Student Survey
Pine City Public School’s is asking students in grades 5, 8, 9 and 11 to participate in the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS). Federal law requires us to notify parents of this school activity. The Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) is conducted in schools across our state every three years.
Questions on the survey are about many topics relating to young people’s lives. The survey asks about how well school is going, future plans, out-of-school activities, physical and mental health, relationships, substance use and more. High school students are asked about sexual behavior. This useful information about their thoughts and behaviors helps communities and schools develop effective programs and provide better services. This data has been used for identifying needs in the district with programs such as Suicide Prevention, ADSIS,, and instructional direction for student engagement and safety.
The Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) will be administered for the High School grades 8, 9, & 11 on January 17th, 2019 during their English class and will take approximately 45 minutes. The 5th graders will take the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) during Science class during the week of January 22nd, 2019. If you have questions about the survey or would like to see a copy of the survey, please contact: Nichole Laven, Director of Teaching and Learning at #320-629-4117 or nlaven@isd578.org.
