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

If you are planning to attend Capital High School next year and live outside our boundaries you must complete an open enrollment continuation form and have it signed by parents or guardians for the 20-21 school year.

The form can be picked up at the counseling office OR you can print one out on the Boise School District website: www.boiseschools.org under the Parents & Patrons tab. It is titled OPEN ENROLLMENT CONTINUATION FORM.

In order to keep your student a part of our Capital Family we need to have all the proper paperwork on file so don’t delay, please turn your form in ASAP!

Thank you!

Mrs. Weems

Counseling Secretary
