2025-2026 Parent Survey

Although we believe St. John Bosco is an outstanding Blue Ribbon Catholic school, even the most exceptional schools have room for growth and improvement. We value honest, constructive feedback from our parents, faculty, staff, and students regarding their experience at St. John Bosco. Thus, I kindly ask all parents to take a few minutes to fill out the 2025-26 Parent Survey by March 6th. Faculty and staff have been emailed a separate survey, and kindergarten–8th-grade students will be given the student survey in class next week.
