Spring 2025 School Perceptions Survey

We asked. You Answered. Here’s what we heard.

Each spring, we ask our families and staff to share candid feedback—and we take it to heart. This year’s survey results show significant progress and give us a clear picture of where we’re headed.

What’s Going Well:

  • 100% of parents said their child feels safe at school.

  • 93% of staff said the school climate feels better than last year.

  • Trust in leadership is up dramatically—parent ratings on "openness and trust" rose 37% from last year.

  • Staff feel more supported and comfortable sharing ideas with leadership.

  • Families overwhelmingly feel welcomed, respected, and heard.

Where We’re Still Growing:

  • While most families feel informed, some want clearer communication around student progress.

  • Tech support and equitable pay practices were flagged by staff as areas for improvement.

We’re proud of the growth—and just as committed to the work ahead. Thank you for your honest feedback and partnership in making Mountain Song the best it can be.

Board Members

MSCS Board Committees

MSCS Committees are critically important resources for the management and operation of the school.  They provide both a way to distribute the workload needed to govern the school, and an opportunity for community awareness and involvement.  (And an excellent way for parents to satisfy their volunteer hours requirement.)  Committees are a way to focus attention and action on a particular topic, such as fundraising, engagement, and future direction and well-being of the school. 

There are Board Committees and School Committees.  Board Committees directly support governing interests of the Board and report directly to the Board.  Some standing Board Committees are mandated by Colorado Education law (School Accountability Committee) and some committees are activated as needed (Charter Contract Renewal Committee).  School Committees support operational interests of the school and report to the ELT.  There are standing School Committees that serve an ongoing operational need (Finance Committee) and others that are formed to meet a unique and important need (Return To School Committee).

Links to each MSCS Committee are provided below.
