The USBE School Climate survey provides valuable information regarding how our schools are perceived by those who interact with them. We are asking all schools to participate in this survey. Please make note of the following important dates related to this survey:
- March 10: Sam Quantz will send out additional information to parents so that they have the option to opt out of participating. That information includes access to the questions that will be asked.
- March 17: The survey will be sent to all adults who should take it. This includes your building admin, teachers, staff, and SROs as well as parents of your students.
- March 21: The survey window opens for students to take the survey. They will access it through the Student Survey app in Clever. Students whose parents opted out will not be able to access the survey in their Clever account so please make sure there is something else for them to do while their classmates take the survey.
- May 2: The survey window closes. Please make sure everyone is able to take the survey before then.
