Each year, schools across Georgia collect survey data from families to better understand their experiences. This survey allows parents and guardians to share their thoughts about our schools, helping us identify strengths and areas for improvement. We kindly ask every parent or guardian to complete a survey for each school their child(ren) attends this year. Your responses are confidential, and school leaders will use the feedback to enhance our learning environment.
Parents/guardians, please take a few minutes to complete the Georgia School Climate Survey. It consists of 22 questions, and your input is invaluable.
