Student Climate Survey

Welcome to the 2019-2020 Student Climate Survey! Washoe County School District wants to hear about what you think of your school and yourself. Your opinions are important to us! The answers you give will help us improve your school. The survey is optional. That means that you can skip any question you do not want to answer and you can decide you don't want to take the survey at any time.

Your answers are confidential. That means that no one, including your parents, teachers, or anyone else will ever know how you answered. For each question, pick the answer that seems the most honest for you. Thank you for helping us make your school better for all students!
