D181 CSCI Climate Survey Coming Soon!

The D181 2025-26 CSCI climate survey will open on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.

Families will receive a link to complete the survey via email on Tuesday, February 17. Staff will complete the survey during a staff meeting, and students in grades 4-8 will complete the survey during the school day.

This annual survey is not only a requirement for all school districts in the state, but also an opportunity to share how we're performing as a school district with audiences near and far.

Participation from parents, teachers, and students is crucial to ensure we compile a valuable snapshot of D181's school climate. All survey results are anonymous, as responses are reported directly to the National School Climate Center before being made available to the District and public.

For more information, please visit the D181 website
