BMS Parent Survey
Good Morning,
Please find the link and information for this years Culture and Climate Parent Survey. We would like to hear from all our parents on ways that we can improve our school and the learning environment for students.
You are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. We value your feedback. The results of this survey will be used to make changes in your child's school to ensure a supportive environment for teaching and learning.
Parent participation in the survey is very important. If you have questions about the survey or have problems completing the survey, please contact your child's school.
When you log onto the survey you will see explanatory information about the survey and the important information below as to your rights as a survey participant:
Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to participate; not to answer any questions you do not want to answer; and you may stop participating at any time during the survey without penalty. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential.
