Purpose
We want to be a school that you are proud to send your children to. This survey will help us measure communication, professionalism, and alignment between school and home. Your feedback helps us understand how clearly our mission and expectations are communicated, how effectively we are supported, and where improvements will make the greatest difference for students.
This survey focuses on areas where parents have direct experience. It is not intended to evaluate individual teachers or classrooms, but to help school leadership identify patterns that guide training, communication, and parent partnership efforts.
Instructions
Only one survey per family is needed. If you have children at both schools, base your answers on your overall experience this year.
If your experiences differ greatly by child or teacher, answer as accurately as you can. For anything else, feel free to contact the school administration directly.
