Participating In Learning Environment Surveys ~ School Climate Surveys

To ensure a positive and supportive learning experience, county school districts and schools should engage in a data-driven planning process, identify needs, and implement interventions targeting those needs. To support that process, School Learning Environment Surveys are provided so schools can gather information about the learning and teaching environment as well as the social-emotional well-being of students.

As part of the data-driven planning process, schools may conduct three interrelated surveys:

  1. Student;

  2. School Staff; and

  3. Parent/ Caregiver

These surveys are conducted online and provide critical information about the learning and teaching environment, the health and well-being of students, and support for parents, school staff, and students.

The WVDE offers schools an opportunity to participate in the surveys once per school year, during the spring semester. The WVDE makes every effort to provide participating schools with reports of their survey results in as short a time as possible following the close of the survey window.

Survey Questionnaires

School staff, parents, and students are encouraged to view the survey before participating. They can do this by downloading and printing the files below.

At this time only printable versions are available. Links to the live online surveys are provided to schools at a later time.

Parental Consent Forms

Parental informed consent is an important and necessary step for the student surveys. Passive parental consent forms will be sent home with your student this week but are also linked below.  If you DO NOT wish for your student to participate, please sign and return this form to your child's homeroom teacher.
