School Culture and Climate Data

Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8’s (FFC8) values listening to each voice: students, staff, and family members. Multiple opportunities for stakeholders to provide both formal and informal feedback are offered, welcomed, and encouraged for continuous improvement. School Scorecard

Behavior is communication

How students behave at school and how the school responds, speaks to culture of the FFC8 community. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a comprehensive approach that uses discipline to teach, rather than punish, and as a result, helps students succeed and thrive in school.

Student Voice

FFC8's ultimate goal is to prepare today's youth for tomorrow's responsibilities.  In order to do this, the school must listen to and provide opportunities for students to express how they feel about their school.   The charts below represent student responses to questions about safety, academics, culture, and connection.   This survey is administered twice a year.  The most recent results are displayed below.
