Dear families,

Our district is participating in the 2024 Ministry of Education Electronic Anonymous Student Learning Survey Project in cooperation with all other school districts throughout the Province. You can find more information in the attached letter from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.

The Provincial Student Learning Survey is unique in its scope, size, and usefulness to schools. It gathers information on topics related to school environment, safety, and achievement. The information is used in school planning and provides a district and provincial perspective. The results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement.

Participants include:

-Students in Grades 4, 7, 10 and 12 (other grades can be included as well)

-Parents/Guardians/Caregivers of Grade 4, 7, 10 and 12 Students (parents from the wider school community are also invited to participate)

-all staff

If you could please also provide your feedback, we would be very grateful!
