The Limestone District School Board is inviting families to take part in the Family Engagement and Climate Survey. This survey gives families an opportunity to share their experiences with their student’s school and with the school board.
The feedback helps us understand what is working well and where we can improve. It also supports schools and school councils in building welcoming, safe, and supportive school communities.
The survey includes questions about:
- How schools communicate and share information
- Whether families feel welcome, included, and connected
- Barriers to taking part in school activities, such as time, childcare, language, accessibility, or cost
- Safety and bullying, including reporting and follow‑up
- Licensed Before and After School Programs, including questions to help inform future planning
- Some questions ask about family background to help us better understand different experiences across our communities
Participation is voluntary and anonymous. Families may skip any questions they choose. No names or identifying information are collected. Results are shared only as grouped summaries and are used to support learning, planning, and improvement at the board, school, and school council levels.
The survey will be open from May 1 to May 11 and will be available online. Families will receive an e-mail on May 1 with a link to the survey. Paper copies will also be available at your school’s administrative office starting May 1.
The survey was developed with input from families and advisory committees, including the Parent Involvement Committee, to reflect a wide range of perspectives. Families are encouraged to watch this short video about the survey.
Thank you for sharing your voice and helping strengthen our schools and school communities.
