There will be 4 surveys total and you'll receive an entry for each survey you complete. \\ Survey Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfegEOpNNiydPQiZklb8Bf6_wqa1LKshvTkUXmADjZlp_WSMw/viewform. \\ The results will help us to make critical decisions on how to improve and serve your students in the best way possible. All of the information is anonymous and your participation is voluntary, but we really want to hear from you. \\ To answer a couple of questions that arose with the last survey: Yes, we are asking students similar questions. The family surveys are for you to offer your perspective based on what you know. We realize that you're not on campus to assess the climate, but we know you hear things from your students and have your own ideas. That said, Survey #2 is directly about your own student.
