Cognia Parent Survey
In an effort to improve system practices, Commerce City Schools is conducting a Parent Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you take the time to complete this survey. Please go to: https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/242946/p1805
Please note that this survey is different from the Georgia Parent Survey shared in October of 2023 and there will be additional surveys distributed in the coming months. This is one of several surveys we are required to administer on behalf of state, federal, and accreditation agencies. Please be assured that your responses are anonymous. Your honest opinion is appreciated. The survey will remain open through January 31, 2024. Thank you for your time and participation.
