Parenting Bullying Survey
 

1. Parenting Bullying Survey

 
Schools need to be safe places so that students can feel relaxed enough in them to learn.
The purpose of this survey is to find out about student safety and bullying at your child’s school. Responses will be used by your child’s school to provide baseline information to determine whether school programs are effective at reducing bullying and improving the school climate.
To ensure confidentiality, please do not put your name on this survey. We are interested in what parents, as a group, tell us.
IMPORTANT... If you have more than one child in the school system, please feel free to complete and submit a separate survey for each child
