To join the focus group, complete the interest form linked below. Dates and times for the virtual focus groups are:

2026 Family Climate Survey Focus Group – Fill out form
Participants who complete the interest form will receive the virtual link prior to the meeting date. Both sessions will cover the same information, so parents only need to attend one meeting. Additional focus groups may be added as needed.
During the focus groups, staff from the CCPS Department of Community Engagement and Equity (DCEE) will discuss an upcoming family survey, including content and questions to include for parents and families. DCEE staff will also ask participants about their child’s school experience and how CCPS can better support a welcoming and supportive environment for every family.
School administrators, teachers and CCPS staff have also been invited to join the focus groups.
Questions about the focus groups should be directed to Traci Chappelear-Thomas, CCPS director of community engagement and equity, at [email protected].
