Student Success

Overview

The Office of Student Success is responsible for overseeing a collection of critical programs and services that support students’ academic and social emotional needs.

In collaboration with our families and community partners, our team is committed to providing equitable access to supports and services that contribute to students’ success and enhance their sense of belonging and wellbeing.

Parent and Family Engagement Survey

Our schools want to build strong partnerships with families. The Parent and Family Engagement Survey asks for your opinions on how well schools are supporting your children and your family. Your feedback helps us improve communication, partnership, and support. This survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.

If you have more than one child at a school, please answer based on your overall experience at the school. If your children have different experiences, feel free to share those details in the open-ended question at the end. Your specific examples help the school understand what is working well and what needs improvement.
