The Parent Involvement Survey is your chance to give input about how well your student's school has involved you in their education. If you receive a Parent Involvement Survey from the Department through email or mail, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Keep an eye out; surveys will be sent out during the first week of June from the address noreply@experience.idaho.gov.   Tell us about your experience. Your input can help improve parent involvement in Idaho.
