Georgia Department of Education Parent Survey
The 2025 Georgia Department of Education Annual Parent Survey is now open for all parents with students in Ware County Schools who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Each year Georgia is required to conduct a parent survey to determine parents’ perception of the success of parent engagement between the local schools’ and themselves. By completing this survey, Ware County Schools will be able to better identify needs in family involvement and how best to partner with families to raise the achievement rates of students in our district.
This survey will assist in achieving the goal of successful outcomes for students with disabilities. You may complete the survey in English or Spanish at the link provided below or by using your smartphone to access the survey with the QR code. If you have any questions please contact your child’s IEP case manager, school coordinator or Ware County Parent Mentor, Kim Gibson at 912-287-2306 or kimgibson@ware.k12.ga.us
