SPCAS Parent Survey
May 2021
Dear Parents,
Section 59-18-900 of the Education Accountability Act requires that annual school report cards include “evaluations of the school by parents, teachers, and students.” Parent perceptions as collected in the Parent Opinion Survey appear on our school report card and provide school staff with insight to issues within our school. Additionally, results from the Parent Opinion Survey are used by the Education Oversight Committee to meet the requirements of Section 59-28-190 of the Parental Involvement in Their Children’s Education Act.
Although the Parent Opinion Survey has been administered for many years, only parents of students in the highest grade in elementary and middle schools and parents of 11th graders in high schools previously were afforded the opportunity to respond to the paper survey. This year the survey has been moved to an online platform and is accessible via computer and mobile device. All parents of students in grades K-12 may now participate.
Please complete the Parent Opinion Survey by: May 10, 2021

Once at the survey, choose either the English or Spanish version of the survey to complete. Families should complete only one survey for each of their children enrolled in public school.
Next, enter the seven-digit ID of our school. The ID for our school is 4603033.
Before opening the survey, the name of the school will appear, and you will be asked to confirm that you are completing the survey for the correct school.
Each school where your children are enrolled will provide you with their school ID.
You will receive a letter from the State Superintendent of Education with additional information.
Please read that letter before completing the survey.
The survey is anonymous, but if you feel uncomfortable in responding to any question you may skip that question. The survey will note that a question has been left unanswered, but you can click continue to proceed without answering the question.
Your time and effort in completing this survey is greatly appreciated.
For our children,
Dr. Barnes
