Please Note for FY24:

• If possible, staff should use January 9, 2023 or February 19, 2024 to take the SEQ.
• Everyone will take the survey online with paper options available, if needed.
• The student survey will include students in grades 3–12. Students should take the SEQ during SEQ WEEK (Jan. 29 - Feb. 2) with makeups from Feb. 5-9.
• Staff and students will use an SEQ tile in their portals.
• Parents will use a link accessible from:
  • Postcard mailed home in December
  • QR code on the flyers
  • Link from the school's website
  • Email or text message sent from Communications 
• The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

You can view your school's response rates here.

Please note, response rates are approximate, and the final response rates will be reported in the analysis in the published Executive Summary.

You can help to improve your school's response rates by sharing the SEQ flyers with parents, posting the student and staff flyers around campus, and providing an opportunity for parents to use school computers before and after school in order to take the SEQ. 

Staff Version (English)

The Staff version includes all school-based employees (e.g., teachers, instructional, non-instructional, and school-based administrators).  All school-based employees will begin seeing the SEQ tile in their Portals on January 2. Once the survey is completed and submitted, the survey cannot be taken again. Please allow staff time to complete the survey. The SEQ may take 5-10 minutes to complete. 

Parent Version - Grades K-12 (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole)

Please encourage all parents to take the survey online. Schools may want to provide parents with opportunities to use school computers at designated times. For special requests, schools may print out the SEQ questions and use the paper option.  

Student Version – Grades 3-12 (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole)

All students in grades 3-12 will use the SEQ tile in their Portals.

There are TWO items required to take the SEQ on paper: 
1. The SEQ Performance Matters Answer Sheet (Bubble Sheet)
and
2. The printed questions (see links below)

(The answer sheets must be scanned into Performance Matters by Tuesday February 20, 2024.)

Who can take the SEQ on paper?

Parents may take the SEQ on paper (if requested).
Students who have paper-based testing accommodations may take the SEQ on paper.

There is no paper option for employees. 

DO NOT PRINT ONE AND MAKE COPIES and DO NOT HAVE STUDENTS WRITE THEIR NAMES OR IDs ON THE SCAN SHEETS.

Please note: 
There are 200 SEQ pseudo IDs that have been added to each school for the paper-based SEQ option. These IDs were added to grade 13 (regardless of school level) so they would not get confused with any of the local or state assessment reporting in PM. After the SEQ window we will remove them from the system. These will produce anonymous answer sheets that only tie the responses back to the schools. 

The 200 SEQ pseudo IDs begin with 3001#### (####=school number) and end with 3200####.

Each ID can be used one time for each SEQ Survey. Once for any student and once for any parent. (Student and parent do not need to be linked.)

Do NOT make multiple copies of a single answer sheet.
