HIDOE School Year 2022-23 SCHOOL QUALITY SURVEY for Parents / Guardians

Aloha Kākou,

Thank you for taking the time to participate in Hawaiʻi Department of Educationʻs confidential survey. Whether your child is physically going to school, attending online sessions, or both, please give us your opinion about your child’s school. It will take about 10 minutes to complete this survey (Responses are not saved so please complete it in one sitting.) and we respectfully ask that you submit it by March 10, 2023.

You may respond to one survey for each child. You will begin the survey by inputting your child’s first, middle, and last name initials. (If your child does not have a middle name, input “#”.) This information is for survey security and will be redacted to ensure the confidentiality of your responses. 

Directions: Please read each statement or question carefully and respond with one child in mind. Select “Neutral” if you neither agree nor disagree. If you feel that you cannot answer a question or if you do not know, please skip the question or select “NA” for “Not Applicable.”

Language translations (14 languages) are available for the SQS parent letter from the Hawaii State Department of Education Superintendent Keith Hayashi and for the questions on this survey. You may access the translations at ARCH.k12.hi.us/reports/sqs. (Please see the parent letter for directions.)

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact us by calling (808) 733-4008 from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Neighbor Island parents may call toll-free at (855) 276-5801. We can also be reached via e-mail at SQS@k12.hi.us. 

Thank you for sharing your voice, and for supporting and helping to improve our schools!
