Mukilteo: Parents, return school surveys
Parents in the Mukilteo School District are being surveyed to find out what they think of their child’s school.
The results of the annual survey will be used by each Mukilteo school in developing its school improvement plan and to help schools improve the way they communicate with parents.
The survey asks parents 23 questions. Results will be compared with the findings from past years so the school district can identify trends.
Survey forms are being mailed to all parents in the district. They also have been translated into Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Korean and Vietnamese and are being mailed to parents who speak those languages.
Parents can either fill out the survey mailed to them or complete the survey online through the school district’s Web site at www.mukilteo.wednet.edu. A link on the front page leads to the survey.
