School Climate Survey

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Coffee County Schools is conducting a survey about school climate and learning

in school. The survey will help us create safe and supportive school

environments that promote academic success. In prior years, schools have used

this information to drive positive changes for student and staff culture. We are

asking permission for your child to complete the survey. The survey includes

questions about student relationships with teachers, school principals, and other

students; school safety, bullying, and substance use; and school rules and the

school environment. However, note that there is a delay between the

administration of the survey and the analysis of data, so the TN School Climate

Survey should not be viewed as a means of communicating health or safety risks.

The survey is voluntary. Students who take the survey may skip any question they

do not want to answer or may stop taking the survey at any time. Your child’s

teacher will be there to help answer questions. This survey is designed to be

anonymous, and your child will be asked not to provide their name or

any identifying information. Any personnel who have access to the TN School

Climate Survey data are required to maintain the confidentiality of these data.

This survey is sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Education (department).

Around the time of the survey window (and afterwards), you will be able to view all

surveys on the department’s School Climate webpage.

The survey will be administered to students online between November 30– December

18, 2026. The survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

Please mark below whether you would like your child to participate in the survey,

sign the form, and return it to the school within three days. You may contact your

child’s teacher or principal with any questions about the survey. You may also

contact Shannon Railling with the department at Shannon.Railling@tn.gov. Thank

you.
