In an ongoing effort to promote safe, inclusive, and accepting schools, HCDSB will be administering an online School Climate Survey for students in Grades 4-12 beginning the week of April 10th, 2023.
About the School Climate Student Survey
The School Climate Student Survey asks students in Grades 4-12 for their opinion on key areas that research has shown to be important in understanding school climate, and that have an impact on student outcomes 鈥� with a focus on safety, inclusion, and relationships.
Some important notes about the survey:
- The survey is voluntary, and will take place during the school day.
- Students may choose not to respond to a question, to skip any question they don鈥檛 want to answer, or to stop taking the survey at any time, without any negative consequences.
- The survey is anonymous and confidential. Student names will not be collected, and their responses will be securely stored by HCDSB Research and Development Services staff.
- Results of this survey will be reported at the school-level and individual respondents will not be identified. Items will also be shared in aggregate form with Halton Public Health for their monitoring.
- This survey has been developed and tested by HCDSB鈥檚 Research and Development Services Staff, in collaboration with other HCDSB staff members.
