LWSD seeking feedback from parents, community by May 13

Published 3:28 pm Thursday, April 18, 2013

Every year, Lake Washington School District (LWSD) asks parents and community members to take a few minutes and give them feedback about how the schools are doing.

The survey provides feedback to the district on important parent concerns as well as what parents think LWSD is doing well. This information is used by the district in its continuous improvement processes.

Many of the questions are used for reports to the school board. Results are also broken out by school and provided to principals for use in their continuous improvement process. Parents and community members are invited to take part.

Survey questions are based on the Nine Characteristics of High-Performing Schools. This framework for school improvement was developed by the Office for the Superintendent of Public Schools, based on a review of the research on what makes a high-performing school. Community members’ answers will help LWSD understand how they need to improve schools and the district to be as high performing as possible.

The survey is open now and will be through May 13.
