Parent/Caregiver Letters: We strongly encourage that schools include a signed letter/message with the parent/caregiver survey link to explain the purpose and procedures of the survey. Sample letters in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole have been provided for schools to send out to parents/caregiver informing them of the home survey.
- Parent/caregiver message for Home Survey (English)
- Parent/caregiver message for Home Survey (Spanish) and the Spanish version of the Home Survey School Climate Survey
- Parent/caregiver message for Home Survey (Haitian Creole) and a Haitian Creole version of the Home School Climate Survey is available to print, copy and provide to parents/caregiver as needed.
Increase your school’s completion rates!
- Click on this flyer and consider personalizing the information to your school and distributing (electronically or via paper) to parents/caregivers. Last year’s school climate data report includes the percentage of parents/caregivers who completed the survey.
- In your HOME report, look on the page before the graphs. At the bottom of page 4, you will see “Survey Completion Information” and the percentage of parents/caregivers in your school who completed the survey.
- At the bottom of the flyer, you can insert directions for parents/caregivers to complete the survey.
- Check out our Delaware School Climate Survey – Home Survey Tips document for more advice and tips on how to increase your Home Survey completion.
