RSU 5 - Building a Portrait of a Graduate (Part 2)

We are collecting information from members of our community to support RSU 5 in designing our Portrait of a Graduate. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete and will be anonymous. We appreciate you taking the time to complete the district's survey by end of day Friday, January 9th.

Why are we creating a Portrait of a Graduate? If we identify the attributes that all students should have when they graduate and purposefully develop and assess these skills and characteristics, our graduates will be better prepared for success, lifelong learning and to positively impact the world in which they live.
