Parent/Student Survey

Beginning Monday, February 1st, 2016, Box Elder School District will be administering school climate surveys.  The purpose is to gather stakeholder input about teachers, principals, and schools.  All parents/ guardians are invited to participate by filling out an online survey.  Responses are anonymous and no personal information is collected.  Results will be given to teachers and administrators and used to improve classrooms and schools.  The surveys are short, taking about 10 minutes to complete. 

There is a link to the survey on the school website.  If you do not have a computer, please come and take the survey at the school where we have a computer set up for you, or you can take it on any public computer such as those available at a public library. The survey is available in English and Spanish.

You can access the survey by clicking here: https://uepc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b89yccRIISvhgDb.

Students 3rd grade and older are asked to take a survey as well.  Here is the link for parents to help students take the survey.
