Dear Parent, Guardian, or other Legally Responsible Adult:
All Iowa public school districts are required to administer an annual school climate and culture survey to students in grades 3-12 called Conditions for Learning Survey. The Survey is designed to measure their engagement in school, safety and the overall learning environment.
From April 1-30, 2024, parents and families of students in preschool through grade 12 will also have the opportunity to participate in the Parent Conditions for Learning Survey. The Survey contains similar items to those on the Student Survey, focusing on areas that range from student safety, to positive adult and student relationships, to school rules and how they are enforced.
The Parent Survey will be accessible to parents or families online from April 1-30, 2024. Participation in the Survey is encouraged, but it is completely voluntary, and all questions are optional to answer. A copy of the items on the Survey is available by request.
Responses to the Parent Survey are confidential and the results are completely anonymous. No names are recorded, and no identifying information is attached to specific responses. The results of the Survey will be provided back to the school to be used with the Student Survey results for identifying areas of strengths, and areas for improvement.
Thank you for your involvement in Twin Cedars School to improve conditions for learning here and throughout the state. A link for the survey will be emailed to you.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Roby
