ELE Parent Survey

ELE Program Parent Survey

Dear Parent or Guardian,

A routine review of your school’s English learner education (ELE) programs is being conducted by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). Your responses to the questions here will help determine how well your child’s school is meeting state and federal requirements. Your responses and comments are strictly confidential.

A report will be prepared by the DESE based on a visit to your child’s school and input from parents such as you. Upon your request, this report will be available to you from your school district or from the DESE. Since the number of parents receiving this survey is small, it is very important that you provide your response as soon as possible.

If you have questions or need assistance in completing this survey, you may call (781) 338-3569.  Thank you very much for your help make this program review process successful.

Sincerely,
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Office of Language Acquisition

Malden, MA 02148
