Idaho State Department of Education Parent Engagement Survey
Dear Capital Parent/Guardian:
One of the pieces of Idaho’s new school accountability system is a parent survey. This survey asks for your input on several topics to help measure how our schools are doing in meeting your needs.
To access the survey, visit
https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/127100/p30811. Then pick your student’s school from the drop-down menu. Please complete a survey for each school your child attends.
The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete and your responses are anonymous. You can submit your survey from February 18 thru March 31, 2020.
We will use these survey responses to identify opportunities to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication. Additionally, the state will report the results and the number of responses on Idaho’s new school report card (https://idahoschools.org/).
Thank you for participating in the survey. If you have any questions, please contact your school’s Principal.
Sincerely,
Derek Gardner
