In our continuing efforts to increase
school effectiveness through student voice, Swan Valley School Division will
once again implement an online student survey entitled Tell Them From Me (TTFM),
which is Canada’s largest national school survey. Swan Valley will continue to work with
Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning in the collection of school division
survey data related to bullying and school safety.
Student feedback helps inform
decision-making and planning and provides schools with information to improve
learning and to foster safe and welcoming environments. The Tell Them From Me student survey also
includes such topics as social-emotional and academic outcomes (student
engagement) and drivers of student outcomes (quality instruction, classroom,
school and family context).
Students in Grades 9 to 12 will be given
the opportunity to participate in the survey anonymously. Each student receives a randomly generated
username and password, so that their identity and responses cannot be linked. Each survey will require approximately 45
minutes to complete.
If you have any questions, require more
information, or do not wish your child to participate in the online survey,
please contact the school at 204.734.4511.
