The PBIS School Climate Survey will be administered to students in grades 3-12 during the first and last 45 days of school.

What is the School Climate Survey?

The School Climate Survey is a set of multi-dimensional surveys to measure student perceptions of school climate. The surveys are brief, reliable, and valid for assessing perceived school climate among students in grades 3-12. Each survey includes a set of demographic questions about the participant and a number of questions related to school climate with Likert-type response options. Surveys take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Surveys include:

• School Climate Survey: Elementary
• School Climate Survey: Middle/High

The School Climate Survey:

The survey is anonymous, but parents/guardians are given the option to opt out if desired. The data collected from the survey will be used to identify student perceptions of school climate issues within our school. School staff use the results to inform our efforts at improving our school climate. Responses are housed securely and in an anonymous format with the University of Oregon Technical Assistance Center projects for evaluation research purposes. All evaluation research projects are in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, (343 CFR 99.31 (6)) and human subjects regulations (Protection of Human Subjects 45 CFR 46). Our desire is to involve parents in their children’s education. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this important activity, please sign and return the opt-out form to the school (see link for forms).
