While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to Lincoln Elementary Administration, as well as the Ottawa Elementary Distict office and will enable us to make future decisions based on the responses given be Lincoln families. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your child's school and guide future improvements. Again, you identity and individual survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
