Coming Soon: D181 CSCI Climate Survey

The D181 2024-25 CSCI climate survey will be open on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. 

Families will receive a link to complete the survey via email that day. Staff will complete the survey during a staff meeting, and students (grades 4-8) will complete the survey during school.

This annual survey is not only a requirement for all school districts in the state but also an opportunity to share how we're performing as a school district with audiences near and far.

Participation from parents, teachers, and students is crucial to ensure we get a valuable snapshot of D181's school climate. All survey results are anonymous, as responses are reported directly to the National School Climate Center before being made available to the District and public.

Helpful Tips and Tricks:

• If you elect to skip a question or a question does not apply, please select “Does Not Apply”. Please DO NOT leave any questions unanswered.
• Survey should take up to 15 mins.
