Merrimack Valley High School

Dear Educators, Families and Community Members,

The New Hampshire Department of Education wants to hear from staff, families, and community members. Starting June 1 through June 30, the 603 Bright Futures Survey will be available. The surveys will give all New Hampshire residents a chance to share their perspectives on the response by New Hampshire schools to the COVID-19 pandemic this past year and how the experience should influence instruction, as plans are made for fall learning.

The family surveys will provide schools with special education data to support the Department’s federal reporting requirements for Indicator 8. The first half of the family survey is for all parents and guardians enrolled in New Hampshire public schools, and the second half is for parents and guardians of students with IEPs. All schools are eligible to participate so please ensure that all families receive the link.

Survey Links: This year, the distribution of survey links has been greatly simplified. Please share the links below. Respondents will be able to choose their school from a dropdown menu:

· Families in K-12, Preschool, and Private Schools: bit.ly/nhdoefamily

· Staff in Public and Private Schools: bit.ly/nhdoestaff

· Community Members: bit.ly/nhdoecommunity

Please note that "Community Members" are those who DO NOT have students enrolled in New Hampshire public schools. The families survey is for those that DO.

We appreciate your support in ensuring a strong response rate across your community. If you have any questions about the survey program, please reach out to us at support+nhdoe@panoramaed.com.
