Dear Families,
We thank you and your family for being our valued partners in educating the children in our district. Lancaster County School District values input from our community—and we need to hear from your child or children! Students are important partners as we work to improve our communication, academic program, and overall experience for everyone.
In order to learn more about student experiences at school, we will ask for your child’s feedback via an online survey they will complete at school. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.
We ask that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their feedback will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our district to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they can skip the item altogether. Individual student survey results are confidential, accessible only to the student's teachers and approved administrators. We are partnering with a third-party vendor to support us in administering these surveys.
The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on performance in school, effort, behavior, and feelings.
Please notify us if you want your child to opt out of taking the surveys by printing and completing the opt-out letter and returning it to school by February 26, 2025. We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact your school counselor. Please note that if you filled out an opt-out in the fall, you must send a new opt-out form to prevent your child from being surveyed in March.
Sincerely,
Chris Timmons, AJMS Principal
