School Climate Survey
Tuesday, January 16th
Hello Kinsner Families,
We want to hear about your experiences with your child’s education. This district survey includes questions about your child’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment. The survey will take about 10 minutes. If you are interested in accessing the survey click HERE. The survey will be available until Friday, January 26th.
Upon completion of the survey we aim to share out data and themes with you. From there we will communicate to you about action steps we can take in partnership to enhance the student and family experience. Your voice is important!!!
For families of students in in 3-5th Grade, as a reminder, the last day for you to send in a completed opt out form for your child's student climate survey will be on Tuesday, January 16th. Your child will participate in completing a brief survey about the school climate during the week of January 16th (NEXT WEEK).
Please reach out to me directly for any questions or concerns: slawrence@scsmustangs.org or 440-268-5974.
