Lake Windward Families,

At LWE, we are always striving to provide the best experience for our students, staff, and community. One important way we gather feedback and continue to improve is through our Perception Survey. This survey helps us understand how our school is doing in areas like communication, safety, school culture, and overall satisfaction.

Right now, our participation rate is at only 3%, and we need your help to increase this. Our school has always been known for its strong community, and it’s vital that we hear from as many parents as possible to ensure that we’re meeting the needs of all of our families. Please click this link to complete the survey. (More detailed information is also below)

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community!

Your Proud Principal,

Lauren Busing

Parents/Guardians,

Lake Windward and FCS values feedback from our stakeholders. At Fulton County Schools, we truly value the feedback from our parents about their experiences with the district. That is why I encourage all parents to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey. This survey allows parents the opportunity to tell us what they think about their student’s schools and the district. While we always make it a priority to listen to our parents, this survey affords us another opportunity to receive your thoughts and opinions.

The survey is anonymous and confidential. Please complete one survey per school where you have one or more students enrolled. The survey will remain open from Wednesday, October 16 through Friday, November 22.

Please support our school and the love you have for our teachers, staff, students, and community by taking a few minutes to fill out this FCS survey!

The Annual Perception Survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. If you or your family would like to take it in a language that is not listed, please email your child’s principal.

The parent FAQ is now available in:

• English FAQ

• Spanish FAQ

• Chinese (Simplified) FAQ

• Korean FAQ

• Hindi FAQ

• Portuguese FAQ

• Punjabi FAQ

Thank you in advance for making your voice heard!

Relationships Matter!
