Dear MDES Families:
We want to hear about your experience with your student’s education. We invite you to participate in completing
the School Climate Survey. This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and
interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal
involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions,
and the overall school environment.
Beginning today, April 15, 2025, we invite all parents, guardians and caregivers to complete this survey for our school.
The survey is completely anonymous and brief; it contains 21 questions and takes about 10-15 minutes to
complete. Please submit your responses by May 9, 2025.
All your responses are completely anonymous. We have no way to connect you to your answers, and results will
only be reported as group responses. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to know about your
personal experiences.
As you respond to each item, think about your own personal experiences as a parent, caregiver or guardian at your
student’s school. Please answer all of the questions, or your answers won’t be recorded, but you can mark “I prefer
not to answer” if you don’t want to answer a question about you.
We hope you will take the time to provide us with this valuable information. Feel free to call our office at (207)276-3348 if you have any questions. Together with student and staff survey results, family survey data will be used to inform and develop
appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our school climate.
Thank you,
MDES Leadership Team
