DCPS Parent Engagement Survey

Introduction

In this survey, we are interested in learning more about your thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards your child's school.

When answering these questions, please consider your child's current experience at school.

This survey is to help us understand different aspects of the parent/school relationship. Your answers will be used in aggregate, and we will not be evaluating individual responses. As such, please be as honest as possible - there are no right or wrong answers.

Because different children often have different experiences in the same school and you may have children in multiple schools, please add comments to any questions as seen necessary.
