See Yourself in Limestone – Student Census Survey
Grades 4-6 students at Polson will be participating in the Census Survey during class time during this week.
The census is a voluntary and confidential survey for students in Grades 4 to 12, running from November 24 to 28, 2025. It gathers information about students’ identities and their experiences at school. This data is then paired with academic information to help us understand what school is like for different groups of students.
