Parent Survey - Minnesota School Readiness Study
Dear Kindergarten Parent,
Please help us learn about your kindergarten child and your family as part of a school readiness study. Neither you nor your child will be identified in the published study report. If you do not wish to participate in this parent survey, it will not prevent you or your child from participating in any programs or services.
If you choose to answer the voluntary questions, your information will be used by the Minnesota Department of Education for this study. The results of this study inform a number of different public policy discussions. Again, only aggregated information will be published. Thank you for your help!
