Sierra School Site Council/LCAP Parent Survey

This survey is conducted annually to collect information from parents about school effectiveness, safety and parent satisfaction. Please respond to each statement based on your overall experience with your child's school. If you have no opinion or information about a statement, please select "Not Sure/Not Applicable." A composite of the survey results will be shared with the School Site Council (SSC), but individual responses will be anonymous. The SSC will use the results of this survey to recommend school improvements at each site. Your feedback is important to us, so please take a moment to share your thoughts. Please submit your response by May 12, 2017. After you have completed all of the questions, please select "Next" at the end of the survey so that you can print out a confirmation page for your child to give to his/her teacher for a reward. Thank you.
