Good morning, Panther Nation!
Henrico County Public School’s Strategic Plan, Destination 2025, includes strategies for providing all students with opportunities to engage in rigorous learning experiences. Towards this effort, a partnership has been established with Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS) to support the school division’s efforts to increase student enrollment in rigorous courses, including Advanced Placement (AP), Dual Enrollment (DE), and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes.
To support this work, your high school child will be asked to participate in a voluntary EOS School Culture Survey, which will be administered between September 30 - October 11. The survey will be taken at school and will take approximately 40-50 minutes. Surveys will ask students about their self-view, learning mindset, sense of belonging, school climate, and advanced coursework enrollment and support. Results generated from the survey will provide schools with data and trends on information, expectations, and belonging in accelerated coursework. Student responses will not be anonymous to school administrators but will remain confidential. School teams will use this data to surface student potential, interests, and perspectives on school and course offerings.
If for any reason you do not want your child to take the survey, please contact the Main Office at 804-756-3000 by September 27, 2024 to opt your child out of the survey.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Michael A. Jackson
Principal
Hermitage High School
