CA School Parent Survey - Open Through 2/28
Thank you all for responding to our previous WASC Parent/Family Survey! Your feedback will be included in our self-study report to obtain accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
The California School Parent Survey is another survey to obtain parent perceptions about Millennium High School. Your participation is voluntary. It is also very important. The information you provide will help guide district and school efforts to promote safety, enhance learning supports, and improve student achievement.
- This is an anonymous survey. It is designed so that no one can be identified from the data.
- You do not have to respond to any questions that you feel could be used to identify you. Simply skip any such questions
- All questions apply to Millennium High School only.
- The results are for the use of our school and district.
