Parents/guardians will be emailed in- structions and a link to the online survey. Parents will be asked about issues related to learning opportunities, communication, school culture and climate. The informa- tion gathered from the survey is used to help schools continue to create positive school climates, to inform annual bullying interven- tion plans, and for parents to have a voice in creating a supportive community at school. Parents may complete the survey from wherever Internet access is available. If parents do not have Internet access, they are asked to discuss alternatives with their child's school. Students and teachers are invited to complete a similar version of the 'Tell Them From Me' survey at school. Participants are never asked for a name or any information that could potentially identity them. Individual responses will be grouped together for analysis. Those who have any questions about the survey can contact Frank Nezavdal in the Department of Research and Account- ability at 905-335-3663, ext. 3381 or by email at nezavdalf@hdsb.ca Anyone having difficulties accessing the survey who require technical assistance can contact the HDSB Information Centre at 905- 333-4372 (HDSB) or 1-888-432-4372 (HDSB), Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or by email at informationcentre@hdsb.ca The Halton District School Board is seeking public input on the issue of in- ternet filtering. Parents, students staff and commu- nity members are asked to provide in- put through an online feedback form by Sunday, May 4. The feedback form invites respon- dents to consider three items: the ne- cessity of filtering; to only block porno- graphic websites (and their proxies); and the grades and/or age groups for which internet filtering should be in place. Info: www.hdsb.ca A Frequently Asked Questions web- page has been developed to provide fur- ther information. Respondents are re- minded to not include individual names or personal comments in their submis- sion, or any information that could po- tentially identify another individual, as all comments will be screened.
