Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Survey-PARENTS/GUARDIANS

 A Safe, Caring and Inclusive School (SCIS) is a place where all partners – students, staff, parents, and community members treat one-another fairly, with respect and kindness, and act in a socially responsible way towards all members of the school community. It is an inclusive community where diversity is affirmed within a framework of common values, and where all members participate in decision making and cooperate to promote the well–being of all. High expectations exist so that students are engaged academically, socially and intellectually. Studies emphasize the contribution of a positive learning environment to student success.

Before we can build and strengthen our safe, caring and inclusive school culture, we need to get greater insight to our existing culture. Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools surveys will assist us in understanding and describing our current school culture while identifying areas for improvement. It is important to ensure that representatives from all sectors of the school and its community participate in any type of survey or assessment.

We need a parent in each and every one of our families to respond.  

The generally accepted factors that comprise school climate include: relationships between students, and between students and staff; teaching and learning environment; school safety and the physical school environment.

Your feedback is valued.  Thank you for your support!

Survey opens May 1 and closes May 30.
