On Jan. 30, the Alberta Education Assurance (AEA) survey opened. The AEA gathers feedback on the quality of education provided by school authorities and their schools. RVS and our schools use this information, our own division Education Plan Survey results and a broad range of additional data, measures and indicators to understand how we are doing and plan for the future. This data is important for our schools, and we encourage parents/guardians to share their feedback through this survey. Responding to the survey is voluntary.
The AEA survey is sent to parents/guardians of students in Grades 4, 7 and 10. In schools with fewer than 120 students in Grades 4-12, the survey is sent to parents/guardians of students in Grades 4 and above.
Teachers and students complete the survey online at the school. Parents/guardians receive survey invitation packages by mail, which were sent out Feb. 6. Parents/guardians have the option of completing the survey on paper or online using a provided Random Access Code (RAC). Only parents/guardians of students in participating grades will receive a survey invitation package.
All surveys for parents, students and teachers must be completed by March 17.
More information about the AEA survey is available on the Alberta Education website. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond to this important survey.
