The Ann Arbor Public Schools is committed to continuing on its path of excellence and helping all students achieve at the highest level. But we can only truly succeed if we engage with our community to understand the perspectives and priorities of our students, parents and employees.
Later this month, the District will launch its second annual School Climate Surveys — one for parents, one for employees, one for students in grades 3-5 and one for students in grades 6-12. Last year, more than 10,000 surveys were submitted, and we hope to receive even more participation this year.
Here are the details:
What: The School Climate Surveys include questions about educational quality, academic preparation, school and district leadership, student support, and safety and behavior, among other topics.
Who: All parents, staff and students in grades 3-12 are invited to participate.
When: The survey will launch March 23rd and close April 2nd.
How: Parents and staff with a current email address on file will receive a personal survey invitation, and students will access it using their PowerSchool student IDs.
The survey can be taken in English, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish.
For those without Internet access, paper surveys are available at your school office AND will be sent home to families who have requested hardcopy communications.
Why: Because every voice matters!
Every individual experience in the Ann Arbor Public Schools is unique and we need to hear from you! The inclusion of every voice is what makes the Ann Arbor Public Schools exceptional!
