2022 Title I JCSS Parent Survey

Parent Survey

Dear Parent/Guardian,

As we continuously seek to improve Jones County School System, your input is vital in the planning and implementation on how our schools can improve working with families, parents, and guardians to help all students achieve academically. Title I and Title II programs are to determine the "Highest Need Areas" for a school/district. The strategies, techniques, and funds are ultimately to support students in meeting the same high academic achievement standards expected of all students. The survey information is confidential and results are compiled via a secure website. The results provide information to assist us in planning future activities and events for family engagement. Your feedback is greatly valued and we thank you for completing a separate survey for each school that applies.
