Dear Parent/Guardian,
As part of our focus on school
effectiveness, the grade 5 & 6 students at Beddington Heights School will
be participating in an online school survey called “OurSCHOOL” (also known as,
Tell Them From Me).
This online survey allows students
to give their feedback and share their voices on their school environment,
experiences at school, and any school improvement programs. In the month of April, all grade 5 & 6
students will be given the opportunity and time to participate in this survey
during regular school hours. They are encouraged to complete the survey, but
may choose not to as it is completely voluntary. Students who agree to complete
the survey will be given a random username and password to access and complete
the survey. Students’ names cannot be linked to their responses to allow for
complete anonymity. Results will show all student scores combined together – it
is not possible to single out individual students in the results.
The student survey will be
completed electronically and will require approximately 35-40 minutes to
complete. The student survey measures include such topics as emotional and
social well-being, physical health, and behaviours and attitudes linked to
student success. The survey also allows students to give their thoughts and
feedback in open-ended question responses.
This Survey was created by The
Learning Bar, based on the work by Dr. J. Douglas Willms. Dr. Willms is widely
known nationally and internationally for his work on educational monitoring systems,
including the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) of the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since
2004, “OurSCHOOL”
survey has quickly grown to become Canada’s largest
national school survey.
