Dear Families,
A reminder to families that the See Yourself in Limestone Student Census is coming up the week of November 24 to 28.
The Student Census is a voluntary survey for students in Grades 4 to 12. It gathers information about students’ identities and their experiences at school. This data is then paired with academic information to help us understand what school is like for different groups of students.
It is important to note that:
- The survey is optional.
- Responses are confidential.
- Students can choose to answer as much or as little of the survey as they wish.
Reminder: Opt-Out Deadline is Friday, November 14
If you prefer that your student not participate, you can opt them out by contacting your school principal. Students who are opted out will not receive the survey in their e-mail inbox and will be provided with an alternative activity during the survey period.
Opt-out deadline: Friday, November 14, 2025
Student Census Resources
There are resources about the Student Census for families and students available on Limestone’s website, including:
