This is the last week for parents to fill out a survey on student well being in London-area public schools.
The Thames Valley District School Board wants parents to give their input on how the Board can better support students and families.
The online survey asks parents about their kids' friendships and school experiences.
The Board's Research and Assessment Manager, Steve Killip says about 2-thousand people have already taken the survey.
"In our mind student well-being is a fairly broad idea," says Steve Killip, Manager of Research and Assessment for the TVDSB. "It has to do with student safety, climate and culture of the school, physical and mental health, and the relationships that students have with other students."
Because students' experiences vary, families can complete one survey for each child enrolled in a Thames Valley school.
"It's really important that we get to hear the voices of parents as partners in our system and as partners with educators of their children," says Killip.
The survey will be available online until April 17. Parents can also visit their child's school and request a paper copy to complete.
The online survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/s/2YQ6ZZJ.
