Save the Children's 
Family Engagement Survey, 2025-2026


Dillon Elementary and Save the Children would like feedback regarding how well the school welcomed and communicated with families. (Your school received support from Save the Children this past year.) Filling out this survey will help your school and Save the Children learn what worked for you and your family and what we could do better. The information you share may help us serve your community better in the future and may help us get resources to provide your community more programs. We believe the risk from filling out this 10 minute survey to be very small. We will do everything we can to keep any information identifying you confidential. If you have any further questions about this survey, please contact the U.S. Program’s Monitoring and Evaluation Team at [email protected]. Completing this survey is voluntary and there is no penalty to you for not completing the survey.

Paw-sitive Behavior:

Here at Dillon Elementary we know that character is how you act when no one is looking and these cats are the perfect examples of that. We not only teach your children academic knowledge to make them successful, we want them to learn how to show good character.
