Parent Survey

In order to best meet my students’ needs, it is vital that I get to know as much as possible about them as quickly as possible.  I have found that parents love to talk about their children and are eager to tell me about them, so I adapted the following parent survey from Easy-to Manage Reading and Writing Conferences by Laura Robb which I send home with a welcome letter before the school year begins.

It is concise enough that parents aren’t overwhelmed by it and open-ended enough to give me lots of valuable information.  Parents seem to appreciate having a vehicle to tell what they feel is important for me to know, and I appreciate the head start in getting to know their child.
