Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Parent Survey was developed to measure parent perceptions of school climate at your child's school. Your opinion is very important to us. Your survey responses are confidential and will be combined with the survey responses of other parents at your child's school to identity areas in need of improvement. It should only take ten to fifteen minutes to complete the survey. Thank you for your time and participation.

In April, students will learn about Habits 7 Sharpen the Saw and Habit 8 Find My Voice. There will be a Sharpen the Saw Day on April 19.
