2026 Annual Parent Involvement Survey for Georgia Families Raising a Student with a Disability 

Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) Division for Exceptional Children

 In Partnership With Parent to Parent of Georgia (P2P) 

GaDOE Division of Exceptional Children will work collaboratively with Parent to Parent of Georgia (P2P), the statewide Parent Training Information Center, to identify needs in family involvement within the state and local districts based on statewide survey results. In order for all students to graduate prepared to achieve a lifetime of success, families need to be an important part of the school team. It is critical that the GaDOE assist local school systems in partnering with families to raise the achievement rate for students with disabilities. 

Completing this survey will assist in achieving this goal. Geographic area, ethnicity, and disability group data is collected to ensure the results are valid and reflect the overall demographics of the state. Be sure to indicate ethnicity as requested. The GaDOE is surveying parents of students with disabilities throughout Georgia. Individual answers are kept confidential. Each response will be coded by a number – not a name. 

What will be done with the information collected? Why are you being asked to complete a Statewide Survey? How do you complete the survey? Who is being surveyed? Why do you want to know my child’s ethnicity & disability? 

Who do you contact for help with completing the survey? 

Parent to Parent of Georgia at 800-229-2038 / www.p2pga.org

 Special Education Help Desk at 404-657-9968

 You may also call your local school system’s Parent Mentor.

Do you have a child who will be starting kindergarten next year? Your child will begin their kindergarten journey soon, and we are so excited to welcome them! One of the ways we begin connecting with your child is through our kindergarten screening.

If you haven’t signed your child up for a quick 10–15-minute session yet, it’s not too late! We have two more Kindergarten Screening dates coming up on May 20 and July 14!

Kindergarten Screening Information

The Kindergarten Screening is a short, friendly one-on-one session with a kindergarten teacher. In a relaxed and supportive environment, your child will have the chance to show what they know. Teachers will gently ask them to complete simple tasks such as:

• Identifying letters and numbers

• Counting orally

• Writing their name

• Identifying colors

• And other early learning skills

Please know that this is not a test, and there is no pressure. Every child comes in with different experiences and backgrounds, and that’s perfectly okay!

The goal of the screening is simply to help us get to know your child better. This information allows teachers to plan lessons and provide the best possible support from the very first day of school, helping each student feel successful and confident right from the start.

We look forward to meeting your child and welcoming them into our kindergarten family!

Upcoming Screening Dates:

• Wednesday, May 20th

• Tuesday, July 14th
