Desired Daily Experiences Survey
Desired Daily Experiences Survey
Each fall, beginning with the fall of 2022, Owatonna Public Schools surveys students, staff, and families to gather data on their perceptions on school climate and other topics related to the district's desired daily experiences. Survey results for several key questions from the student survey aligned to the Safe & Caring Community strategic direction are graphed in these slides.

Family ENgagement Events
Family ENgagement Events
Owatonna Public Schools engage families throughout the year with regular communication, newsletters, social media posts, and planned family engagement events throughout the year as we work to build a strong partnership between school and home. Schools plan an average of 8 to 10 events per year for a variety of purposes. A sampling of these include before school interviews, open houses, conferences, multi-lingual family nights, science fair, and more. Multi-lingual success coaches in each school work directly with multi-lingual families throughout the year.
