PPS Successful Schools Survey
Parents and Guardians, there is still time to complete this survey and give your feedback. Your responses will help your school understand your experience and use them to set goals and plan for next year. The survey covers topics on school safety, school climate, barriers to family engagement, racial equity and inclusion as well as how well your school fits your student’s needs. Please be honest and thoughtful, and take your time to read and respond to the questions.
Please visit the link below on a computer, tablet, or smartphone and select the school your child attends. If you do not have access to a computer or internet, please contact your school office so we can provide a way for you to take the survey.
