Family Survey-Please go to www.cps-k12.org to take the survey!

Our school is participating in the district-wide climate survey, launching tomorrow and closing December 16. There is a survey for staff, students and parents/guardians. Students will take the survey in class and parents can go to our website, www.cps-k12.org to take the survey.

By participating in the survey, you are empowering CPS to make informed decisions that will impact the way the district educates and supports Cincinnati’s children. The survey is anonymous, only takes a few minutes and available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French and Arabic. To take the survey, you just need access to a computer, tablet or cell phone with internet connection.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like help taking the survey, our front office staff can assist you during normal school hours.

Let’s work together to get a 100% response rate from our school community!
