Georgia Parent Survey

Deadline extended through February 28.
Please take the Georgia Parent Survey: Now open to all parents of Georgia Public School Students, the survey mirrors the school climate questions in the Georgia Student Health Survey II and the Georgia School Personnel Survey. Data from these surveys will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating within the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) for each school. Data from this survey will also be used to help the school inform and monitor instructional and programming decisions. Thank you!

Go here, a drop-down menu will appear for you to select school district (Dekalb) and school (Dekalb School of the Arts).
