CEI Work
Hello McSwain Community,
As shared at the start of the school year, McSwain was selected as one of just sixty schools across California to participate in the Community Engagement Initiative (CEI). We are proud to be part of Cohort VI and the Peer Leading and Learning Network (PLLN). This initiative is grounded in active listening, shared leadership, and the belief that every voice in our community matters.
As part of this initiative, we have the opportunity to reflect on what makes McSwain unique, welcoming, and exceptional for our students, staff, and families. It also allows us to take a deeper look at areas for growth and how we can ensure that all voices are heard, valued, and seen as members of the McSwain community.
This past weekend, members of the McSwain community, students and staff attended the first in-person CEI engagement meeting. The event brought together over 700 participants from across the state of California to engage in meaningful conversations about strengthening community outreach and engagement. A key focus of the discussion was how schools can continue to authentically engage students, staff, and families. At the heart of strong engagement is listening directly to our community.
As part of this ongoing effort, we will be sending out our LCAP Parent Survey later this week. The survey will remain open over the break, and I strongly encourage all families to participate and share their feedback on how we are doing as a school. The survey will help in providing data to help us continue to improve and highlight the effectiveness of ongoing inttatives.
In addition, students and staff will also be completing their respective feedback surveys to help inform how we respond to the needs of our community. I want to sincerely thank our students, staff, teachers, families, community members, district personnel, administrators, and county partners for their continued collaboration and support as part of our CEI work. We welcome parent feedback as an essential way to continue strengthening our school community.
We look forward to hearing from you and continuing to build strong engagement across McSwain.
Best,
Mr. Pannu
Superintendent
