Parent Survey about Year Round and Traditional Calendars
The Wake County Board of Education is conducting a survey to study parents' preferences for school calendar. Information collected will be used by the board for decisions for school year 2010-11. The survey consists of 17 questions and should take 5-10 minutes to complete per student. It is available until noon on Monday, January 25th.
The parents of each WCPSS student will receive a letter containing the student's NCWISE ID number which you will need to enter into the survey. This will help us ensure that we receive only one survey per student; it will also help us analyze data based on the child's attendance node and school. If you have more than one child in our school system, please respond to one survey per child using the ID number on the letter you received for each child. Please keep in mind that this is not a request for school assignment.
If you do not have Internet access, you are welcome to come to the school and complete the survey there.
