SCPS Student Voice Survey – Grades 4–5 
Welcome!
Welcome to the SCPS Student Voice Survey!
We want to hear about your experiences at school. Your answers will help your teachers, 
school leaders, and the district understand what’s going well and what can be improved. 
This helps us make your school and Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) a better place 
to learn, have fun, and feel safe.
• There are no right or wrong answers — we just want to know what you think and feel.
• Your answers are private — only your school and the district will see the results in a 
way that keeps your responses confidential.
• Honest feedback matters — the more truthful you are, the better your school and 
district can improve programs, support, and activities for all students.
Thank you for taking the time to share your voice!
