Home Delaware School Climate Survey
We are asking you to complete this survey so that we can learn what parents and guardians think about our school. Your thoughts and opinions are very important. By completing this survey, your experiences and opinions will be included in our plans as we build on our strengths and work to make improvements. The survey will only take about 15 minutes to complete. If you have more than one child in this school, please complete the survey with one child’s experiences in mind.
