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.

Student Experience Survey
Students in grades 3-12 will also participate in a Student Experience Survey, which will be completed during the school day 📅. Their feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the student experience at West Ada. If you would like to preview the questions with your student(s), we’ve provided a link here for your convenience 📑 - https://forms.hcg.com/f/41756402/44ca/
Survey Timeline
Both surveys will be open from Monday, November 4, through Wednesday, November 20 🗓 and are anonymous 🔒.
