DCDSB School Climate Survey for Students in Grades 4-12
Every two years, the School Climate Survey is conducted as part of our commitment to safe, inclusive, and welcoming schools. The survey is a requirement by the Ministry of Education as part of the Safe Schools initiative.
The School Climate Survey is anonymous, confidential and will be completed by students during class time between Monday, November 28 and December 16, 2022. A copy of the survey questions are available below for families and students to view the questions in advance.
Staff, parents and guardians will also be invited to complete a survey between November 28 to Dec. 5, 2022
The School Climate Survey includes questions based on the Ontario Human Rights Code. Questions may ask about Indigenous identity, ethnic origin, race, religion or spiritual affiliation, language, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability. Parents and Guardians who do not wish for their child/ren to participate in the survey are asked to contact their school principal(s) to opt out.
The data gathered from the survey will help us understand to what extent students, staff and families feel their school promotes safe and inclusive learning environments and positive behaviour.
If you have questions about the School Climate Survey, please contact us.
