🗃️ALE Setting Up the Parent Class Interest Survey (Connect)

Here, in the District Administrator Role, set up a survey for parents to complete that indicates their interest in class offerings for the upcoming term or school year. Programs can use these results to plan which classes to offer and, in larger programs, how many sections are needed. 

Survey Steps:

1. Choose which classes to include. Classes from the system’s All Classes list are available to be included.
2. Assign parents a number of “votes” per student. When taking the survey, parents will see the following data points for each class: Class Name, Certificated Teacher, Support Staff, Grade Levels, Subject Area, and Description.
3. Make the survey available to the parents.
4. Download survey results. 
5. Purge results (if needed).

This task is completed in the Data Admin Role.
