Parents invited to complete survey

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s Parent Involvement Committee is inviting all parents to complete an online survey. The survey results will provide information on how parents prefer to communicate about their children’s education, and will help determine awareness of various parent involvement activities, such as in-school volunteering, school councils and the Parents’ Conference.
The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete and is accessible from the home page of the school board website at www.kprschools.ca. The survey is active until March 8.
“We know that parent involvement is so very important to student success, and we continue to search out ways to further encourage and support our parent community,” says Diane Lloyd, Chairperson of the Board.
“We really want to know more about why and why not parents are involved in our schools. We will use this information to increase awareness about certain activities, and address any barriers that discourage parents from being more involved,” says Parent Involvement Committee Chairperson Heather Robinson.
“Parents are busy, important people and we thank them in advance for taking time to complete this survey. This is one of many examples of how we can work together to continue to do great things for our students,” says W.R. (Rusty) Hick, Director of Education.
