Editable Parent Surveys and Parent Volunteer Form

NEW! These 4 editable parent surveys (10 pages total) will help you establish strong communication with parents all year long. Google Form versions are now included, too!

This product is also available in Spanish! Check out my English AND Spanish Editable Parent Surveys.

1) Parent Volunteer Survey

WHEN: Send the parent volunteer survey home during the first week of school, whenever a new student transfers into your class, and anytime a parent asks how they can be involved in their child’s schooling. You might also send the form home at the start of the second semester to remind parents of various opportunities and accommodate their changing schedules.

WHY: Often when parents say, “Just let me know if you need anything—I’d love to help,” we don’t have a ready response for them. Now you can reply, “Great—just fill out this quick survey and I’ll get back to you right away!” This survey will help you explain alternative ways busy parents can offer their time and resources, tap into parent resources you might not have known about, and communicate to parents that they are your partners and allies.

2) Post-Interim Report or Progress Report Parent Survey

WHEN: Send this home after the first progress or interim report of the school year and again mid-year.

WHY: Sometimes there is a disconnect between how a parent thinks the child is doing (or what previous teachers said about the child’s performance) and what’s actually happening in your classroom. This survey will help you: prevent conflicts and confusion at report card time, allow parents to express concerns prior to conferences so you’re prepared, get feedback on how homework is going and provide accommodations, and gain insight as to what parents think the root cause of any problems are.

3) Post-Report Card Parent Survey

WHEN: Send this home quarterly with your report cards and have parents sign and return all the paperwork together.

WHY: Seeing their child’s grades on a report card can be an eye-opening experience for some parents, especially when it’s the first report card in a new grade level. This survey will help you: document that you sent progress reports with low grade notifications in advance,

determine whether parents are satisfied with students’ grades, allow parents to express concerns prior to conferences so you’re prepared, learn more about the kids’ and parents’ attitudes toward you and school, confirm parent-teacher conference times if needed, and more.

4) End-of-Year Parent Survey

WHEN: Send this home 1-2 weeks before the school year ends.

WHY: This survey will help you: learn more about how your teaching style was received by students and families, analyze your strengths and weaknesses as an educator, and plan for improvement in future school years.

In your ZIP file, you'll get a ready-to-print PDF, as well as a fully editable PowerPoint file so you can alter the parent survey wording and print your own customized PDF.

There are also links to the Google Form versions so you can make a copy, personalize it, and share the link with parents to submit their surveys digitally.
