Georgia Parent Survey 2013-2014

Your Input is Needed Please
The time to administer the Georgia Parent Survey for the 2013-2014 school year has arrived.
This is the first year that the Georgia Parent Survey has been administered. Data from the Georgia Parent Survey will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating
within the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI).
The Georgia Parent Survey will be administered electronically. Parents will be able to complete the survey using their personal computers, smartphones or iPads. The Georgia Parent Survey has 20 questions and it should take no more than 5 - 10 minutes to complete. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.
The link to the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below. After you click on the link, a drop-down menu will appear and you will use the drop-down menu to select our school district and our school.
