Dear Principals:

Thank you for all that you have done this school year to support your students during an unprecedented shift to online learning in the wake of COVID-19.

In order to guide decision-making, align academic and social/emotional supports, and increase equity in the 2020-2021 school year, the HISD Research and Accountability Department is launching its districtwide HISD COVID-19 Response Parent Survey, which will run from June 15 through July 2.

Parents are asked to fill out the survey online at HoustonISD.org/ParentSurvey. The survey is also available in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Arabic. We are asking that you share this survey with your parent communities and encourage participation so that we may increase participation across the district.

Included in the survey are general family questions, as well as questions about each child’s experience with remote learning. There are a total of 24 questions, with that number increasing if responding about experiences for more than one child.

If internet service is not available, parents may complete the survey via phone by calling the HISD @ H.O.M.E. hotline at 713-556-INFO (4636) – which will be available starting on Wednesday, June 17. Going forward, the hotline will be available Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout the summer. Operators can offer assistance for alternate language requests.

Thank you in advance for your assistance during this process. The feedback and data that is gathered will help us better support our students and families for the coming school year.

Sincerely,
