Information about two surveys

Climate and culture survey

As part of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) accreditation process, the Ray-Pec School District is required to conduct a climate-culture survey of students, staff, and parents. The survey asks about your child’s experience at school

The survey will be given to students in grades 3-12. You can preview the survey for grades 3-5 here. You can preview the survey for grades 6-12 here.

The accreditation process is outlined by state laws and State Board of Education regulations through the Missouri School Improvement Program, or MSIP. The latest version, known as MSIP 6, focuses on continuous improvement and the preparation of each student for life beyond high school. Read more here.

Teachers and other certified employees will take a similar survey while at work. Parents - please watch for a separate email asking you to complete a similar survey.

Telephone community survey

In addition to the state-developed survey, the District is conducting a telephone survey of parents and community members. The results from this survey will help the District measure progress on initiatives outlined in the Strategic Plan.

Phone numbers throughout the district will be randomly selected. If you are contacted by Market Research Associates, please participate. Your feedback is important to us!
