The Georgia Parent Survey is also modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. For parents who do not have access to the Internet, school administrators should consider scheduling dates and times to allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school. All parents should be encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous, self-reported, and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. The Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below.

McKinney Vento Program

If your family lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence and is forced to live in any of the following situations:

• Sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason (example: evicted from home, etc.).
• In a motel.
• In an emergency or transitional shelter.
• Have a primary nighttime residence that is not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for humans ( car, park, or campsite)

Then your children may have the right to:

• Enroll in school without proof of residency, immunization, school records, or other documents.
• Choose between their school of origin or the school zoned for where you are currently living, when feasible.
• Receive transportation to school.
• Attend school and participate in school programs with children who are not homeless. Children cannot be separated from the regular school program because they are homeless.
• Receive all the school services available to other students.

For more information you may contact your school administration or Chip Davis at 229-248-2835.
