Dear Parent(s) / Legal Guardian(s) of Grade 4-6 students:

 

Re: OurSCHOOL Student Survey Administration

 

Cambrian Heights will be participating in an online school perception survey for students called the OurSCHOOL Student Survey. This anonymous survey is completely voluntary for all CBE students.  Please find the details of the survey implementation below.  

 

CBE’s Education Plan prioritizes student voice and well-being in our decision-making processes.  Responses from this survey are used at the system and school level to recognize and improve what is necessary for students to feel safe, welcome, and cared for when at school.

 

Grades 4-12 students provide feedback on:

• sense of belonging
• positive relationships
• anxiety
• feeling safe at school
• life satisfaction
• general health
• orientation to well-being
• goal-oriented
• self-regulation
• cultural awareness (others)

Additionally, Grades 6-12 students provide feedback on:

• depression
• self-esteem
• cultural awareness of self

Demographic questions are also asked on this survey for norming purposes. These are:

Grades 4-12 general

• age, gender, Indigenous status, immigrant status, home language.

Grades 6-12 specific

• grade repeater, reasons for changing schools, disability or medical conditions that limits participation in school activities or learning.

 

 

At Cambrian Heights, our OurSCHOOL Student Survey administration plan is as follows:

Who: Grades 4-6

When: October 16-19

Where: In homeroom classrooms

If you have questions or would like to request more information about Cambrian Heights’ upcoming implementation of the OurSCHOOL Student Survey, please contact me at kmwhitton@cbe.ab.ca or through the school office.

 

Sincerely,

Kevin Whitton

Principal
