Annual Parent Perception Survey
Please take a few minutes to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey for Wilson Creek ES. The county monitors this data and provides feedback to the individual schools. We need to have a good percentage of parents respond for our data to be valid...and we do want to know what you think. Please note that only a rating of 9 or 10 is considered to be promoting the school. If you love Wilson Creek, please give us a 9 or 10 on the rating scale!
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.
It’s not only parents we want to hear from. Our students’ opinions are important too! Students in grades 3-12 will be provided with the opportunity to take the Annual Student Perception Survey between November 11-November 22 during the school day. In our ongoing efforts to remain transparent with parents, please take a moment to review the 3-5 student survey and/or the 6-12 Student 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:
