End of the Year Parent Survey 
 
Please consider taking 2-3 minutes to complete our online Parent/Caregiver Survey.  This survey asks you to rate your family's experiences and identify the benefits your child has received from participation in our after school program.
 
We use the survey results to help us ensure the rec. center is a great place for everyone.  Results are also used by City officials as they make future funding decisions.

Bullying Research Project 

University of Nebraska LogoIrving Recreation Center is working with a doctoral candidate in UNL's School Psychology program to conduct a study about bullying. All students are invited to participate in the study. The project will take place after school at the rec. center and will ask youth to anonymously answer questions about their definition of bullying and whether or not they have been bullied or have bullied others. Participation will only take about 10 minutes, and students will receive a small reward for returning the permission form. This project has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at UNL and the Director of Lincoln Parks and Recreation.

We hope this study will help us understand how well current methods work to assess involvement in bullying and what we can do to help young people better understand the definition of bullying.
