Expert tips
It can be difficult to get parents and guardians involved in school events, and especially challenging to gain feedback through surveys. Here are some strategies to maximize participation in the OurSCHOOL Parent Survey to build relationships with students’ families:
- Ensure parents and guardians understand the purpose of the survey and let them know you will be sharing the results once the survey has closed.
- Develop grade level challenges among students. For example, the grade level with the most surveys completed wins a pizza party.
