ANNUAL PVSCHOOLS PARENT/GUARDIAN SATISFACTION SURVEY
As partners on your child's journey of excellence, PVSchools values your input. One of the ways we are collecting input is through an anonymous survey.
This survey will be used to better understand how parents perceive their child's school's academic climate, social climate, parent engagement, and school communication. It’s important to note, that this survey is for research purposes only and will be reported in an aggregate form. District staff will not be able to link your responses to you or your child. We appreciate and value your candid responses as they will help us through decision-making processes as we empower every learner for a lifetime of success.
The survey will only take about 10 minutes to complete and is available until May 10, 2024.
Thank you in advance for your participation. And, thank you for your continued support of student success in PVSchools.
