I am looking for a survey to give to the teachers to see how we can improve our group and have the teachers start liking the PTO. I checked thoses links and none of them worked. Any other ideas. Laurie
We got about 1/3 back also. We also tied it to a raffle. We asked for name addresses, and e-mail though to start a dated base. In survey we also asked if wanted to be contacted via phone or e-mail--so we needed that info.
We've done an end of the year survey several years. The one year that comes to mind, we got 114 back. There were about 500 kids, probably 300-350 families.
We always tie ours to a drawing, like a Toy's R US gift certficate. You get the best data if the survey is anonymous, so we would trade a completed survey for a drawing ticket. Then the child could fill out the ticket and put it in the jar. The jar was always in a nice, visible place and we had signs promoting the survey.
I'm just curious. How many of you did send the survey home, and what kinda response did you get?
In other words, if you sent it home to 500 famlies, did you get at least 100 back, or 25 back, or more?
Lots of great stuff can be gathered from surveys, but I know back when we did ours at the elem school - 6 yrs ago - yikes - we got a very low response.
