As part of our commitment to continuous service excellence, we are conducting our annual surveys 📊 to gather valuable insights from families and students. These surveys, similar to the family engagement surveys done in previous years, fulfill the requirement under Idaho Code 33-320, which mandates that school districts survey stakeholders annually to support accountability and improvement efforts. 🏫
We are reaching out not only to parents and caregivers 🧑🤝🧑 but also to students in grades 3-12 🎒. Our goal is to ensure that everyone’s experience with the West Ada School District is positive and enriching 🌟, and your feedback is essential to achieving this.
Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey
Your feedback will help us celebrate our successes 🎉 and identify areas for improvement 🔧. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes ⏱ to complete, and we encourage you to do so in one sitting, as responses will be saved upon submission. You may complete a separate survey for each school your children attend.
