Spring Survey FY22

As we continuously seek to improve the Jackson County School District, we want to know how you, as a parent, feel the schools and the district are doing to meet your needs.  The information that you provide will help us evaluate and improve how our schools, families, and parents work together to help all students achieve academically.  All information provided is confidential and will be used to assist us with future planning for parental involvement activities and events in the district and schools.  Your opinions and suggestions are very valuable, and we thank you for your time to complete this survey.

All surveys may be completed online at www.jacksonschoolsga.org.  If you have children who attend different schools in the Jackson County School District, we ask that you complete separate surveys for each school that your children attend.
