SQS Letter
School quality survey
The SQS survey collects information about parents’ perceptions of safety, satisfaction, students’ well-being, and involvement/engagement in their school.
This year, the End-of-Year (EOY) survey (16 questions + demographics) will be administered at the same time as the SQS. The EOY survey is similar to the Return to Learn survey that was administered in October 2020 and will ask parents questions about transitions, support, communication, their child’s social-emotional well-being, academics, and health and safety. The questions on this survey have also just been approved by the Superintendent’s office.
Here are some details about the administration of the surveys:
The survey window is April 19-May 28 for parents
