Panorama Overview

Panorama student surveys ask grade level appropriate questions designed to capture student voices on their classroom learning experiences, school culture and climate, and ability to manage their emotions. These surveys are important because they are the only district-wide measure Collierville Schools uses to allow students to share their learning experiences and measure bi-annual student progress in character education.

We consider character education to be an integral part of education as it is the process through which all learners acquire and apply the knowledge and skills to manage emotions, develop healthy identities, achieve personal and collective goals, treat others with respect, and make responsible and caring decisions.

Primary classroom teachers fill out staff perception surveys for students’ grade K-2 based on classroom observations. Students grades 3-12 utilize their school issued devices to take the survey under staff supervision during the school day.

All Panorama surveys are considered voluntary. If you would like to opt your student out of a Panorama survey, you can do so on the Microsoft form that is sent one week prior to when students are surveyed via ParentSquare. There is no credit or grade for participating or not participating in the surveys.

Spring 2023 proofs for each student survey are the same as Fall 2022. CS district staff hand select survey topics and questions from Panorama’s database.
