Parent Survey
Orleans Elementary School
October 2012
These questions were included in a larger survey for parents around the climate of the school to identify strengths and weaknesses.
It was given out during Open House and most parents filled it out during the evening. MANY surveys did not include answers to these PBIS questions (Most other questions were worded in an agree/disagree “check one format”). We question whether this is because they had little uninterrupted time to fill it out or whether they actually do not have the information. To play it safe, we are making the assumption that more parent information/training is needed and will plan accordingly in the weeks to come.
C. Please tell us what you know about our PBIS system:
