School Health Services Survey

Please complete this survey from School Health Services:


School Environment Survey-Please respond

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is studying how school environments relate to discipline practices in the Division. As part of the study, you will receive a survey from FCPS’ Office of Research and Strategic Improvement.  A small number of classrooms will also participate in the study’s student survey. The surveys are designed to help FCPS understand your and your child’s thoughts about the school environment and how discipline is approached in their school.

We encourage you to participate in this important survey to help FCPS understand what is working well and where we can improve.
