Dear Parent/Guardian,
Monroe County Schools are conducting a survey about school climate and learning in school. The survey will help us create safe and supportive school environments that promote academic success. In prior years, schools have used this information to drive positive changes for student and staff culture. We are asking permission for your child to complete the survey. The survey includes questions about student relationships with teachers, school principals, and other students; school safety, bullying, and substance use; and school rules and the school environment. However, note that there is a delay between the administration of the survey and the analysis of data, so the TN School Climate Survey should not be viewed as a means of communicating health or safety risks.
The survey is voluntary. Students who take the survey may skip any question they do not want to answer or may stop taking the survey at any time. Your child’s teacher will be there to help answer questions. This survey is designed to be anonymous, and your child will be asked not to provide their name or any identifying information. Any personnel who have access to the TN School Climate Survey data are required to maintain the confidentiality of these data.
This survey is sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE). Around the time of the survey window (and afterwards), you will be able to view all surveys on TDOE’s School Climate webpage.
The survey will be administered to students online between April 1, 2024– May 25, 2024. The survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
