Student Ethnic and Race Data Collection
Winchester Public Schools has sent home a survey to give you an opportunity to re-identify your child's ethnic and race information. The U.S. Department of Education has developed new categories to report ethnicity and race to provide a more accurate picture of the nation's ethnic and racial diversity. Reports generated from this data will ensure that all students receive the educational programs and services to which they are entitled. For more information about these changes, click HERE or contact your child's principal.
Special Education Parent Involvement Survey
All parents of school-aged children and youth who receive special education services in Virginia's schools are encouraged to complete the Department of Education's annual Parent Involvement Survey. This is a great opportunity for parents to provide input to help guide efforts to improve services and outcomes for their children. More info: | English | Español |
