Communications Survey
Reaching an entire school community in today's digital and mobile world requires planning. As a district, we are examining what the best methods are to connect with families, and the feedback we receive from this D103 Communication Survey will help us as we work to update our District 103 communication guidelines.
The anonymous survey is divided into two parts: School and District. If you have children in multiple schools, we ask that you please take a separate survey for each school so we can accurately distribute the results. Please only complete the district section once. It should take between 5-10 minutes to complete.
