NYC School Environment Survey
The NYC School Survey helps school leaders understand what key members of the school community say about the learning environment at each school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn. Every year, all teachers, all parents, and students in grades 6 – 12 take the NYC School Survey. In 2009, the survey ranked among the largest surveys of any kind ever conducted nationally: 849,664 surveys out of a possible 1,451,750 were submitted. Parents may fill out the survey in a totally confidential manner without any influence over their answers from anyone. Surveys must be completed by April 23rd. SURVEYS will be distributed and may be completed in room 112 during Parent- Teacher Conferences on March 16th. Refreshments will be available for our parents during that time.
