At Kenowa Hills High School, we believe that education is most effective when there’s a strong partnership between families and educators. One of the most meaningful ways parents and guardians can support this partnership is by completing our Parent Survey, available at the link below:

Here is the link to the survey. https://iheartckh.com/publicsurvey/yzgfqai8

🌟 Why Parent Surveys Matter
Parent surveys are more than just a routine—they’re a powerful tool for helping our school grow. Your voice gives us valuable insight into what we’re doing well and where we can improve. Here’s why your participation matters:

• Improving Communication: Your input helps us understand how effectively we’re sharing information about student progress, school events, and resources.
• Enhancing the School Environment: Your feedback shapes our programs, classroom strategies, and support services to better meet students’ needs.
• Building Stronger Relationships: When families speak and schools listen, trust grows—and so does student success.
• Guiding Decision-Making: Whether it's planning parent engagement events, investing in new learning tools, or improving the building environment, your feedback helps guide important decisions. 

📅 Please Take a Few Moments
We kindly ask all Kenowa Hills High School parents and guardians to complete the short survey as soon as possible. Your voice matters—and it truly helps make our school the best it can be. Thank you for being a vital part of the Kenowa Hills community!
