Dear Parent/Guardian:
Your district is taking part in the Missouri School Climate and Culture Survey. Results from this survey will be used for the school improvement review during the 2026-2027 academic year. As part of this process, parents, students, and school employees are asked to voluntarily answer surveys regarding programs and services available to students.
Please take a few minutes to answer the survey at the link provided. Responses from all parents will be anonymously summarized and will be included in a report for the school district. The school district will use this report in the development of school improvement efforts.
If you have more than one child in school, please complete a survey for each child. The surveys will be processed so that school officials receive reports about each building in the district.
The questionnaires contain demographic and opinion questions. You have the option not to respond to any item or not to complete a survey at all.
Thank you for your help.
Parents, you can access the survey using 1) a direct link or 2) a QR code and authentication code.
