Family Survey

Dear Parents and Caregivers:

Family Survey for our school
Sister Alphonse Academy is considering taking part in an Active School Travel project that would improve the school journey for our students. Through the School Travel Planning process, our school community would work with community partners to reduce congestion, address traffic safety issues and encourage more students to walk and wheel for the school journey.

Please complete this 5-minute Family Survey with your eldest child who attends this school. Your input is important. Knowing what travel choices families are making and why they are making them would help the school create an action plan that considers everyone’s needs.  

We understand that some students are learning from home at this time. If this is your family's situation, please think of how you would normally travel to and from school in non-COVID times when responding to the questions.

This survey is voluntary; you may choose not to participate and you have the option to withdraw from this survey at any point. We do not ask for your name. Your responses are anonymous and will be stored electronically in secure password-protected files, only accessible to the school's Active School Travel committee and Ever Active Schools, who are directly involved in the project.

Thank you!
