St. Dennis School

Dear Parent or Guardian,

St. Dennis is always working to improve the ways that families and schools can help each other—and help all children do well in school. We would like your ideas about this and invite you to participate in a school survey. We will use your responses to learn about our students and families and to plan new projects. To do the best job, we need responses from every family.

To help us gather information, Anne Walsh, a 4th year Doctoral student in School Psychology at Loyola University Chicago, is conducting research at St. Dennis for purposes of her dissertation. Should you decide to participate in the project, you will be asked to complete an on-line survey that is estimated to take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The survey will ask you about the ways you are involved in your child's education and your child's mental health needs. Your participation would be greatly appreciated and your responses will be confidential and anonymous. More information about the project and about participating in this research can be found on the first page of the survey, which can be accessed by clicking the link below.

If you are interested in participating, please click the link below. Once you click this link, you will be taken to a secure site to complete the survey. Your IP addresses will be suppressed to insure there is no way you can be identified. Both mothers/female primary caregivers and fathers/male primary caregivers are invited to participate. If you have any questions, please contact Anne as awalsh3@luc.edu. Moreover, should you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, please feel free to contact Loyola University's Compliance Manager at (773) 508-2689.

Thank you for your voluntary participation and for helping us with research at St. Dennis! Click here to access the survey:
