Dear Parents or Guardians:
Re: Province-Wide Implementation of Tell Them From Me
Grades 4-12 Student Survey on Bullying and School Safety
In our continuing efforts to increase school effectiveness,
Education and Advanced Learning will continue with the implementation of an
online student survey this fall called Tell Them From Me (TTFM). This is
a well-known survey tool that gives students the opportunity to express their
thoughts on various topics and provides schools and school divisions with
information to improve student learning and foster safe and welcoming
environments for all students.
TTFM was created by The Learning Bar and is based on the work
of Dr. Doug Willms, a researcher who is well known nationally and
internationally for his work on the development of educational monitoring
systems. Please refer to The Learning Bar’s website at www.thelearningbar.com
to obtain more information.
TTFM is an online survey that allows students to provide their
input anonymously in terms of school improvement initiatives. Each student
receives a randomly generated username and password, so that their identity and
responses cannot be linked. All students in grades 4 and 5 will be given the
opportunity to participate in the survey, but their participation is not
mandatory.
The survey on bullying and school safety has been specifically
designed for elementary students and will require approximately 30 minutes to
complete. Students will be asked a variety of questions, including the topics
of “bullying and school safety”. The
survey will be administered at Stevenson between October 26, 2015 and October
30, 2015.
If you have any questions, please contact Samantha Amaral
(Vice Principal) or Jane Couch (Principal) at 204-832-1359.
Thank you for your support in this important initiative.
Sincerely,
Samantha Amaral
Vice Principal
