CALIFORNIA SCHOOL PARENT SURVEY 2020-2021
Dear Parents and Guardians,

Jefferson needs you to complete this online survey. This survey is an opportunity to communicate your perceptions about the school.

Your participation is voluntary. The survey is very important because the information you provide will help guide district and school efforts to promote safety, enhance learning supports, and improve student achievement.
 
  • This is an anonymous survey. It is designed so that no one can be identified from the data. You do not have to respond to any questions that you feel could be used to identify you. Simply skip any such questions. 

  • All questions apply to this school only. 

  • The results are for the use of your district. The California Department of Education and WestEd will preserve data confidentiality and refer any data requests to the district. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCESSING THE SURVEY

If you have more than one child at this school, you will only need to complete one survey for this school. Please fill out just one survey about the school using your oldest child as a reference.
 
Access the survey using the following URL
 
Thank you for taking this important survey!
