Take the Annual Parent Survey
Please take a few moments to complete the BSD Annual Parent Survey during the month of April! The survey helps us to evaluate our progress in educating your child and planning for the future. Our goal is to ensure that every member of our school community feels welcomed, valued, and informed, so it is important for all parents/guardians to complete the survey. The survey data will be summarized so that each person who answers will remain anonymous.
A link to the 2018 Annual Parent Survey was sent to all valid parent email addresses via SchoolMessenger on Monday, April 2nd, 2018. The deadline to participate is Friday, April 20, 2018. You can view a copy of the survey in both English and Spanish on the Research & Reports webpage
2018 Annual Middle School Student Surveys
Each year the District surveys students to gather information for planning, program evaluation, and assessments of progress on the District’s Strategic Plan. The 2018 surveys for elementary and middle school students will be given to students April 9-June 15, 2018.
The student survey takes about 20 minutes during the regular school day. The data gathered from the surveys are anonymous; your child will not put his/her name or other identifying information on the survey.
Student surveys in middle schools include three optional questions for students to identify their gender, ethnicity/race, and sexual orientation. These questions allow for additional levels of analysis of questions on inclusion, safety and bullying.
Your child may skip questions or stop filling out the survey at any time. Refusing to participate or withdrawing from the survey does not affect your child's grades or class standing in any way. If you or your child does not want to participate, he/she can read or do some other activity while his or her classmates complete the survey.
Copies of all 2018 Student Surveys are available on the District’s Research & Reports webpage, or at your child’s school. After reviewing the survey, if you do not want your child to participate, please notify their school.

Any items left behind are scheduled to be picked up by Beaverton Clothes Closet on the following dates - May 1st, May 29th, and June 20th.
