Georgia School Climate Student Survey Notice (Grades 6-12)
Dec 3, 2024
Family Notification of Student Survey
Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are writing to inform you about a new student survey that will be conducted at your child’s school. The survey, which will be open from January 8, 2025 through January 31, 2025, includes 73 questions. It should take students approximately 25 minutes to complete. The survey asks about the quality of teaching and learning, the school environment, support for students, how commonly students in the school face challenges (such as being bullied), and student risk behaviors (such as self-harm and substance abuse). Names cannot be tied to survey answers in any way, and students can skip any question. The data will help leaders improve the school.
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(c)(1)(A) gives you the right to review a copy of the student survey questions. You may review the survey questions at this link. Additionally, you may request that the school provide a copy of the survey questions for your review.
The PPRA also gives you the right to opt your child out of participating in the survey. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please complete the attached opt-out form, sign, and return this letter to Megan Elam’s office in the Science Building Room 1112 by December 20, 2024.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Megan Elam, Assistant Principal of Instruction
