Sabine Parish Schools Student Culture & Family Engagement Survey

16.Introduction

This year, Sabine Parish is embarking on an exciting journey to develop new visions for family engagement and student culture that will unite the community around a common purpose and goals in these areas and will support alignment to our greater vision and mission below:

  • Vision: Building a stronger Sabine Parish, one student at a time.
  • Mission: Sabine Parish Schools, in collaboration with all stakeholders, strives to provide educational experiences that challenge and develop the whole child in a safe, caring, and inclusive environment in order to build the leadership and life skills that will allow them to grow into productive citizens.

To us, the way we arrive at this vision and mission is every bit as important as the final product. Our process will include multiple opportunities for students, parents, and staff to participate and one of those ways is through this survey.

We ask that you please take about 10 minutes to complete this survey by Friday, November 22nd.
