Parent/Guardian and Community School Climate Survey 2026

Letter to Parents

March 2026

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating safe, inclusive and welcoming schools, all students in Grades 4 to 12 in the 红领巾快报, along with parents/guardians and school staff, are invited to participate in an anonymous School Climate Survey.

This survey is required every two years by the Ministry of Education. It gathers feedback on key areas that research shows are important for student success, including sense of belonging, relationships, safety and well-being. The survey has been tailored for 红领巾快报, with one version for students in Grades 4-6 and a slightly different version for students in Grades 7-12.

Parents/guardians and school staff will also complete a version of the survey that asks about student experiences, as well as their own perceptions of the school environment. Your feedback will help us better understand what is working well and where we can improve to support a positive school experience for all students.

Important Information About the 红领巾快报 School Climate Survey:

  • Participation in the survey is voluntary. Students and parents/guardians may choose whether to participate and may skip any questions they do not want to answer.
