Collect the voice of parents and caregivers to guide your school improvement planning

Collect the voice of parents and caregivers to guide your school improvement planning

A new school year is upon us, and many schools will soon begin setting up their OurSCHOOL surveys. As schools continue to build stronger partnerships and prepare students for the future, OurSCHOOL is expanding to support both goals through a newly redesigned Parent & Caregiver Survey and the pilot of eight Future-ready Skills measures.


The New OurSCHOOL Parent and Caregiver Survey

Strong partnerships between schools and families are essential to student success. The redesigned OurSCHOOL Parent & Caregiver Survey helps schools capture meaningful family perspectives and translate them into insights that strengthen engagement, communication, and community connections.

The new OurSCHOOL Parent and Caregiver Survey Framework includes:

  • Customizable survey options that allow you to pick and choose from a variety of topics, such as Academic Encouragement, Community Involvement, and School AI Usage.
  • Newly designed reporting to build an accurate and timely picture of parent and caregiver feedback.
  • Updated demographic questions to help schools understand and respond to their school community.
