2019 School Climate Survey for Families
We want to hear from you!
Please take the SCUSD School Climate survey to inform how our district and our schools are meeting the needs of our families and students. The deadline to complete this school climate survey is February 21, 2019.
The district surveys families every year for their opinion on issues such as safety and feelings of connectedness to school. We hope you will share your opinion every year, and complete one survey for every school that your students attend.
