2020-21 USBE School Climate Survey Links
Jordan School District will be administering the USBE-mandated school climate survey this year in place of the stakeholder survey that has been administered in previous years. The school climate survey window opens Wednesday, March 17th and closes on Friday, May 7th. Surveys are administered to all students in grades K-12, parents, school employees and school resource officers (SROs).
To prepare for, and conduct, the 2020-21 USBE school climate survey, please make sure the following activities are completed for each of surveys:
Student Survey
There are three student surveys: One for students in grades K-2, grades 3-5 and grades 6-12. Links to the student surveys have been sent to each school tech to load onto computers.
Principals are asked to disseminate the USBE School Climate Survey Teacher Script attached with this memo to their teachers. After the survey window opens, schools should provide time during the school day for students to take the survey. Principals may consider designating a homeroom class as the time that students take the school climate survey.
Here are the links to the student surveys:

Adult Survey
After the survey window opens, individual licensed faculty, classified staff, and administrators will receive an email from the district with a link inviting them to participate in the school climate survey. Principals may consider notifying teacher and staff that such an email will be forthcoming. Principals are also encouraged to provide time in a faculty meeting for employees to take the survey.
A Skylert will be sent to parents inviting them to take the school climate survey. Principals are encouraged to post the adult survey link on school websites and send out reminder Skylerts inviting parents to take the survey.
Please note that there is a Spanish version of the adult survey available. Respondents simply click on the English box in the upper right corner of the survey and select Spanish instead.
