GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey
5th Grade Parents:
Please find a preview copy of the GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey HERE. This survey will be administered during school hours to students in grades 5-12 in the window of November 6-17.
The purpose of the survey is to provide input on how GCPS is doing towards meeting our annual School Board Equity Goals established per policy JFHB/GBAA so that we can create an even better experience for all of our students. Any parent wishing to opt their child out of taking this survey may do so by sending an email or written letter to James B. Hopkins, Principal (jhopkins@glnd.k12.va.us).
