Hanover Online Survey

We are conducting the online Hanover parent survey Thursday, April 7, 2016 through April 28, 2016. With this survey, we hope to learn more about you and your child’s experiences at school during this school year with teachers, administrators, students, and other District staff. All responses are anonymous and will never be connected to you – your answers will be kept strictly confidential. Reporting will rely on grouped percentages only.

If both parents/guardians in a household would like to take the survey, that is fine. However, we ask that each adult only take the survey once, and do so by April 28, 2016. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the survey, please contact the District’s Operations Department at (619) 425-9600, ext. 1325.
