Instructions: This 10 question poll is designed to be part of an overall evaluation of the "school culture" present in the freshman academy. These questions are based on 5 standards from the "Kentucky's Standards and Indicators for School Improvement." I will be using these responses for a class I am taking but they will also be shared with the school leadership team and freshman academy teachers. We appreciate your participation. As you answer each question, use the drop down menu to select your answer then click submit for each question as it is completed. You may enter in additional comments if you wish. Also, please DO NOT discuss these questions with your child in advance. We want to know your perceptions as they are now. A sample of the freshman population will get to answer questions very similar to this. One more thing... according to "Pollwizard" (the site through which the poll is constructed) since your "IP" address is recorded; your text responses (if you make any) are not technically anonymous. Rest assured that I have no idea how to determine who you are based on your IP address. Your responses are for all practical purposes - anonymous. Thank you for your time!
