How is the school year going? Students, staff asked to weigh-in

The Thames Valley District school board is checking in with students, parents, and staff to see how the current school year has been going.

The board has created two new online comment boxes to collect feedback - one for students and their families, the other for staff members.

"We know that this year has been challenging, and that is why we want to offer you a way to tell us how things are going and provide suggestions as they arise," the board said in a statement issued Wednesday. "This will allow us to continue to serve our students, families, and staff members in the best ways possible."

All comments submitted will be kept anonymous.

The student/parent comment card asks whether a student is studying online, in person, or the hybrid model that combines both. It then asks the respondent to rank from one to five how the school year is going.

Both staff and students are able to check off areas in which they feel the board could offer more support before a space is provided for general comments.

The online feedback box will be available until June 15.
