Philly families, take just 5 minutes to advocate for your child by completing the Philly School Experience Survey (PSES)! This annual survey is for all Philadelphia public school parents and guardians in both District and Charter schools. Your feedback is vital! It helps the District understand different viewpoints and track progress towards school improvement goals. Complete the survey online and you'll be entered to win a $25 gift card! Take the survey today and learn more at philasd.org/pses.

We're committed to ensuring every student in grades 3-12 thrives. Please encourage your child to take the brief 5-minute Student Well-Being Survey to share their thoughts on their school experiences and relationships. This feedback is crucial for building a more supportive community. Don't miss the June 12th deadline; we value their honest input and use it to continuously improve the school experience for everyone.

The School District of Philadelphia invites all families to participate in our Annual Code of Conduct Feedback Session. This is your opportunity to provide valuable input on the rules and expectations that guide our students. Join us on May 14th at 3:00 PM. Register here or you can also share your feedback via a short survey.
