Dear Moss Community,
In a few weeks there will be two separate surveys students will be asked to take.
Survey 1 USBE (Utah State Board of Education) School Climate survey
Every other year a statewide school climate survey is conducted based on the mandate of HB 120 (53G-8-802) and R277-623.
This survey was first conducted in the spring of 2021, and we are again conducting the survey this spring.
The USBE school climate survey will gather survey data from respondents down to the school level. The survey window will open on March 13th and close at the end of the day May 15th. The USBE school climate survey comprises several surveys and are administered at varying lengths to students, parents, licensed educators, educational support professionals (classified employees), administrators, and school resource officers. Please see the table below for the estimated time it will take survey respondents to complete the survey:
Student Surveys
Grades K-2 : Approx. 2 minutes : K-2 teachers will need to read the survey question items for students – script provided
Grades 3-5 : Approx. 5 minutes : Teachers may need to assist students with reading survey question items or understanding what the item is asking – script provided
Adult Surveys
Parent : Approx. 6 minutes
Staff (licensed and classified) : Approx. 10 minutes
If you would like to opt out please fill out and return the form emailed to families, copies also available in our main office.
Survey 2 Granite School District Panorama Survey
This survey is only for students in grades 3-5 at Moss. It was used as a pilot program in some schools during this current school year. The survey is being issued to gather data about student connections to school, student well being, and ways to support students at school.

Student surveys have two sections:
SEL Competencies and Well Being and Supports and Environment
When students take the survey it is one seamless survey. They will not realize there are two parts.
The two sections are reported differently
Supports and Environment – These sections are shared at the whole school level
SEL Competencies and Well Being -These sections are shared at the individual level
If you would like to opt out of the Panorma survey please email your student’s teacher and Mrs. Adams (lwadams@graniteschools.org) . Once again, this survey is only for students in grades 3-5.
