Medfield School & Family Engagement Feedback Needed via Survey

How well is Medfield Public Schools engaging families in the education of their children?

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education wants to know as part of a statewide survey of public school districts. A separate survey is also available for educators.

Here is the link to the family survey.

Here is the link to the educator survey.

Survey questions focus on a variety of topics, including level of trust, school involvement opportunities, communication, respect for differences, decision-making participation (including hiring process involvement), and overall school climate and resources.

As shared by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Education in a March 30, 2020 e-mail:

"Massachusetts is the recipient of a Statewide Family Engagement Center grant from the U.S. Department of Education. As a recipient of that grant, and in order to learn more about the relationships that schools and families have with one another, DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) must annually conduct an assessment of families' and educators' needs related to family engagement."

MA-DESE shared that surveys are available in multiple languages; for translated versions of the survey, e-mail achievement@doe.mass.edu.

Survey links will remain live through the spring.
