The 2025-26 ESE Parent Survey is active and will remain open throughout the 2025-26 school year.
We invite all parents and guardians to share their feedback and help shape the future of the ESE program.
The survey is open to parents of children with an individual educational plan (IEP) receiving ESE services from preschool to grade 12 (excluding gifted services). Students with disabilities aged 18 and up are also encouraged to participate.

The survey is quick and easy to complete.
