Parent Survey - Part 1

Dear parents,

Assalam Alaikum. As we wrap up this school year, we would like to get your feedback on how we did this year to help us plan for next year, insha Allah. There are 2 parts to the Parent Survey:

• Part 1 (30 questions) includes questions on academics, communication, school activities, and programs. This part of the survey is open now until end of May.
• Part 2 includes questions about the principal, school office personnel, school board, and teachers. This part of the survey will be available from May 31 to June 14.

 Some parents asked us what we do with the results of these surveys. Below are the actions that we take:

1. Results of all surveys (Parent, Staff and Student) are sent to the school board.
2. We print hard copies of the results and circulate among the admin team (myself, Vice Principal, Business Manager, Director of Student Activities, and Director of Character Education).
3. We take notes and compare to previous years' surveys to note changes.
4. We write a summary of the parent survey results and publish it on the school website and in the October newsletter (page 3).
5. We decide on certain changes based on the parent feedback. Here are a few examples:
• We instructed the teachers to include notes on the social development of the students during parent-teacher conferences, when parents indicated they do not feel well informed in this area.
• We continued the school events that parents ranked the highest like hajj program, sports' day and eid celebration.
• We eliminated the School Community meetings when the majority of parents mentioned they are not helpful.
• We eliminated some sections from the newsletter that were rated the lowest by parents.

Your feedback is very important to us because we are partners in the students' education, so please share your feedback with us. One survey per family, please. The survey is anonymous.

Sincerely,

Nihad Mourad
Principal
