Annual TPSD Parent and Family Engagement Survey
Each local Louisiana school district must conduct an annual parent and family engagement survey designed to inform school systems and building leaders about success at engaging parents in the education of their children. When used in conjunction with other data, the TPSD Parent and Family Engagement Survey provides administrators and educators the opportunity to recognize strengths in our parent and family engagement practices and create strategies for improvement. Please note individual responses are confidential. No personally identifiable parent data is included in the automatically generated summary reports.
The TPSD Parent and Family Engagement Survey consists of items designed to gather feedback from ALL parents/guardians about our district as a whole and our individual schools. The survey should be completed by parents once per SCHOOL.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have children in multiple schools, please complete 1 survey PER SCHOOL your child/children attend. The survey closes Friday, May 17, 2024.
