During the period of Sept. 6-16, 2022, MCS will be administering a survey to students, teachers, and families. The WE SUPPORT Survey is designed to inform schools and districts about expectations and perceptions the community has about student learning. The survey is structured around three
main areas:
• Rigor
• Relevance
• Relationships
To take the survey, parents/guardians do the following:
• Go to www.wesurvey.org
• Enter the case sensitive password that is unique to your child’s school (copy > paste works best):
CMC6BS
•When all questions have been answered, click Submit for
your responses to be recorded.
Thank you in advance for completing this survey by Sept. 16, 2022. You need to complete one for each school in which your children are enrolled, using the code for that building above. The insight you provide will be valuable in our ongoing efforts to improve student achievement.
WE SUPPORT survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous, so please answer all questions honestly. Please try to provide your perceptions and expectations of your child’s school or district overall.
