Cooke Families: Please Complete the DE School Climate Survey Cooke Families: Please Complete the DE School Climate Survey

Below is a link to a survey about Cooke Elementary. We are asking you to complete the survey to help us learn what parents and guardians think about our school. Your thoughts and opinions are very important. Through this survey, we will use your experiences and opinions to help us build on our strengths and work to make improvements.


The survey will only take about 15 minutes to complete and can be accessed by desktop, laptop, or mobile device. If you have more than one child in this school, please complete the survey with one child’s experiences in mind.


The Delaware School Climate Survey was developed by the Delaware Positive Behavior Support Initiative (a partnership between the Delaware Department of Education and the Center for Disabilities Studies at the University of Delaware). There is no identifying information on the survey, so no one will know how you individually answered any of the questions. Information from completed surveys will be used by the University of Delaware to make a report for our school.


When completing the survey, please do the following:

· Answer every question

· Mark an answer that best describes what you believe about the situation described

· Complete the survey by April 11, 2026

· Complete only 1 survey per child


Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about the survey.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions with us and helping to make our school a better place for all students.


To access the HOME version of the DE School Climate Survey by desktop or mobile device, please click on this link and it will take you directly to the survey.
