Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board is committed to effective, meaningful consultation with the Hamilton community and to a culture of consultation within and among its constituent groups and/or individuals.
At its heart, consultation is about interactive two-way communication and dialogue. The process is an opportunity for:
- the Board to inform the public about key issues and their implications, and to be better understood; and
- the public to have meaningful and substantive opportunities to influence Board decisions.
All public consultations are posted in the chart below for your information and your consultation is earnestly sought. Parents/guardians, caregivers, School Council members, staff, students and members of the community are urged to respond.

Parent Voice Survey 2020
In 2019, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) asked parents to participate in giving feedback about the services we offer to all children. We shared the results of that survey in April 2019. In order to track the progress we have made on services, we ask you to please complete this survey.
We’re interested in your views on:
- Communication
- Parent learning
- 21st Century Learning
- Students being safe, included, and respected
- The nutrition, integrated accessibility, and program policies
This survey is anonymous and there are no right or wrong answers. All data collected will be analyzed, summarized and used by senior administration, program leaders, schools, trustees, and the HWDSB community to improve programming and services.
You can stop the survey at any time by closing the page and you may choose to skip questions you do not wish to answer. There are 25 questions and the survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
To provide your feedback, please fill out the online survey.
If you would like to learn more about how we use the anonymous data in this survey and maintain your privacy, please see our Parent Survey Privacy Statement.
Please complete this survey by March 13, 2020 at 4 p.m.
