FY25 Administration Information
The District School Effectiveness Questionnaire (SEQ) is an essential tool to provide feedback and support toward developing and maintaining a positive and supportive school culture and climate. The District uses the SEQ results to ensure continuous improvement in alignment with Strategic Plan Theme: High-Performance Culture) and to meet accreditation requirements.
Our stakeholder responses are important! Ongoing research reveals that student/parent engagement in schools can improve student achievement, reduce absenteeism, and improve parent confidence in their child’s education. Students with involved parents or other caregivers often earn higher grades and test scores, have better social skills, and show improved behavior. In addition, by engaging teachers and staff, the school community can create an environment where all members are welcomed, supported, and feel safe in school.
Please use these flyers to increase awareness and participation. Flyers are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole for parents and students. The flyer for staff is available in English.NOTE: There will be a Google Meeting on Dec. 10, 2024 for all SEQ Administrators. If you can't make it, don't worry. The recording will be uploaded here so you can watch it at your convenience.

Paper-Based Option
There are TWO items required to take the SEQ on paper:
1. The SEQ Performance Matters Answer Sheet (Bubble Sheet)
and
2. The printed questions (see links below)
(The answer sheets must be scanned into Performance Matters by Tuesday March 4, 2025.)

Who can take the SEQ on paper?
Parents may take the SEQ on paper (if requested).
Students who have a paper-based testing accommodation may take the SEQ on paper.
DO NOT PRINT ONE AND MAKE COPIES and DO NOT HAVE STUDENTS WRITE THEIR NAMES OR IDs ON THE SCAN SHEETS.
There is no paper option for employees.
Please note:
There are 200 SEQ pseudo IDs that have been added to each school for the paper-based SEQ option. These IDs were added to grade 13 (regardless of school level) so they would not get confused with any of the local or state assessment reporting in PM. After the SEQ window we will remove them from the system. These will produce anonymous answer sheets that only tie the responses back to the schools.
The 200 SEQ pseudo IDs begin with 3001#### (####=school number) and end with 3200####.
Each ID can be used one time for each SEQ Survey. Once for any student and once for any parent. (Student and parent do not need to be linked.)Do NOT make multiple copies of a single answer sheet.
