HERE’S WHAT’S COMING UP
OurSCHOOL Student Survey at Meadowbrook
Meadowbrook students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 will be participating in an online school perception survey called the OurSCHOOL Student Survey between April 7 and May 2.
This survey gives students the opportunity to share anonymous feedback about their school experience, including the learning environment and school improvement efforts. Their responses help inform action plans that support student engagement, with opportunities for students to be directly involved in shaping initiatives.
Participation is voluntary, but all students are encouraged to take part. The survey takes approximately 35–40 minutes to complete, though timing may vary slightly. Topics include behaviors and attitudes linked to student success, emotional and social well-being, and physical health.
Parent Participation:
Parents and guardians will also be invited to share their perspectives through the OurSCHOOL Parent Survey. More information will be shared soon.
If you have any questions or would like additional information about Meadowbrook’s implementation of the survey, please contact us by email or phone at 403-948-5656.
