Panorama
The district utilizes Panorama as a universal screening tool. Universal screening is any test or survey given to all students to identify school wide strengths and needs. Schools use the information to improve instruction and support for all students. Universal screening is not graded.
Panorama is a research-based student survey that allows students to express their opinions about themselves, their school and classroom experiences. Panorama surveys are given twice per school year. Social emotional skills are related to student achievement, attendance, and behavior. Panorama reports are sent home for students in Grades 3+.
Second Step is a SEL program used at PRM to support children's Skills for Learning, Empathy, Emotion Management and Problem Solving.
Families can learn about the benefits of the program and explore ways to support children's skill development at home.
