Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Student Learning Survey (SLS) has been administered every year in BC public schools since 2001. Prior to 2016-17 it was known as the Student Satisfaction Survey. We've worked hard to improve the survey and make it more useful for students, parents, teachers, and schools. It is the only source of province-wide information of children's learning experiences. The information is very helpful for others like the Ministry of Health, who use it to improve health services for children across BC. Your participation is an important contribution to improving the educational experiences of children. The survey currently has the same questions regardless of your child's age, although we recognize that there may be a need to have a version for parents of younger children and one for parents of older children. On this survey, you are welcome to not answer any questions you feel do not apply to you or your child. It is important for you to know that your information is protected under Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Your responses will be kept anonymous: no one will be able to personally identify you or your child(ren) through your responses. This survey is voluntary and your response is encouraged, not required. Please do not include any third-party information (e.g. talk about other specific people) survey or any personal information about yourself.If any personal or identifying information about yourself or others is included it will be deleted before results are processed and stored. Data will be stored in Canada and accessible only within Canada. If you have multiple children in the BC education system, please feel free to complete a survey for each child, even if they are at the same school. We will ask a few demographic questions at the beginning of the survey. Your responses are anonymous; your child will not be identified as a result of your participation in the survey. We sincerely appreciate your input and thank-you in advance for your participation.
If you have multiple children in Grades 10, or 12, please feel free to complete a survey for each child, even if they are at the same school. If you have multiple children, log in to the same site again to respond to the survey for each child.

Sometimes you just need a little
space to talk with other parents
Parent Support Services offers free, confidential self-help support
circle groups that are led by two trained volunteer facilitators.
We believe that every parent is the expert of their own family. Sometimes
it just takes a bit of space to hear yourself and the voices of other parents
to find your way through.
Parent Support Circles provide a safe, supportive place to share
ideas and information with others who are parenting.
Parent Support Circle - Coombs
Find out more and register
for a new group starting soon.
