Dear William L.
Callahan School Parents:
I am writing to ask you to
take an important ten-minute online survey, called SurveyWorks, about our
school. The Rhode Island Department of Education conducts this survey each
year. It gives schools important feedback on these key areas for school
success:
- Climate
and safety
- Teaching
and learning
- Family
involvement
- Resources
As principal, I believe your feedback is essential to
student and school success. Your views on matters like the safety of your child
at school, the way students are taught, the condition of the school, and how
connected you feel to this school are important to us. By taking this short
survey you can help us to make improvements to our school. This survey is
voluntary. Responses are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual and
no one can find out how you answered the survey.
Parents can take the short survey online or on paper
between January 10, 2013 and March 1, 2013.
To take the survey online go to: www.surveyworks.ride.ri.gov and
click on “Take a Survey.
If you don’t have access to a computer or the Internet
or prefer to take the survey using pen and paper, you can pick up a paper
survey in the school office or fill out the form below and return it to the
school. We will send a paper copy of the survey and an envelope home with your
child. Please return the completed survey in the envelope to the school no
later than March 1, 2013
Both the paper and online version of the survey will
require you to enter the school code listed at the bottom of this sheet. The
code allows the survey administrator to track the survey response rate for our
school but does not identify you.
I want to thank you for being
a part of this very important project. If you have any questions, please
contact SurveyWorks at 1-877-787-5725 or email: surveyworks@wested.org.
Sincerely,
David P. Brissette
