Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you that your student(s) will be participating in an upcoming student engagement survey as a part of the Strategic Planning process Stapleton Public Schools is partaking in with the Nebraska Association of School Boards. The purpose of this survey is to gather valuable feedback that will help us better understand our students’ experiences, needs, and perspectives.

Students in grades 4-12 will participate in the survey which will cover school climate, basic needs, academic engagement, and overall well-being. This survey is scheduled for distribution on Monday, October 19th. Participating grades will have time to complete the survey during school hours, which should take 15-20 minutes. All responses will remain anonymous and will be used solely for school improvement purposes.

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, or if you would prefer that your student(s) not participate, please contact me directly by Thursday, October 15th.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us invest in the future of Stapleton Public Schools.

Best,
Mr. Redinger
