Standards-Based Learning Survey: Parents Grades 2-7

The 8th-12th Grade Standards-Based Learning Task Force, comprised of teachers, parents, students, and administrators, is exploring how standards-based learning could be implemented beyond 7th grade. This task force is studying high school grading models, reviewing current practices at Lindbergh High School, and gathering insights from district families whose students are currently using standards-based learning.

We are asking parents of students in grades 2-7 to complete this short survey. Your feedback is essential, and the information we collect will help the task force make an informed recommendation about the future of grading practices in grades 8-12. At this time, a timeline for implementation of any recommendations has not been established.

Please take a moment to complete the survey before Jan. 7, and help us better understand your experiences and perspectives. Thank you.
