You are invited to take GCPS communications survey
School district partners—families, staff, and community members—are encouraged to participate in GCPS’ online School Communication Performance Evaluation (SCoPE) survey to share their feedback on the effectiveness of communication at the class, school, and district levels. The survey is part of a districtwide Communications Audit that is being conducted by an outside organization—the National School Public Relations Association. The audit is designed to provide district leaders with a snapshot of current communication efforts, the climate for communication, the issues and image perceptions the district is facing, and the communication needs and preferences of GCPS’ audiences. Participants will be asked to share how they prefer to receive information, the effectiveness of the communication they receive, and their perceptions related to communication and GCPS. In the spirit of continuous improvement, district and school leaders will use survey results, along with feedback from 40 focus groups and additional interviews, to increase the effectiveness of communication to support our families, students, and staff. The survey is open Sept. 20-Oct. 4.
Participate in the survey by Oct. 4!
