Notification of the Virginia School Survey of Climate and Working Conditions
The 2023 Virginia School Survey of Climate and Working Conditions (Virginia School Survey) will be administered in schools beginning January 9, 2023, and ending on February 24, 2023. The survey will be administered to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders as well as our faculty at all our PreK--8 Schools. The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) partnered to conduct this administration. This is a tool for division leaders and principals to monitor and ensure all students and staff have access to a healthy, safe, and positive environment in which to learn, work, interact, and grow whether remotely or in-person.
Student and adult participation is voluntary. Parents or guardians of students must be advised of the survey at least 30 days before administration and offered the option of declining their students' participation. If you would prefer that your 6th, 7th, or 8th grader not participate, please contact your child's school to let the principal know.

Coeburn Middle School has had an issue with an A/C unit that triggered a fire alarm. Everyone has evacuated the building and is safe. The fire department and our maintenance staff are inspecting everything and we expect everyone to safely return to the school very shortly.
