Parent School Climate Survey
Parents, you are all invited to give your input on Woodmont Middle School through a School Climate Survey for Parents. You may access the survey via your Backpack for Parents account. We could not have earned our Excellent rating without your input and we encourage to to let your thoughts be known agaqin this year.
- All families of public school students may complete one parent survey for each of their students. Only one survey per family should be completed per student. Parents of students in any grade may complete a survey. Parents of pre-K students do not need to respond to the parent survey.
- Parents of GCSD students may access the School Climate survey via their Backpack for Parents on the My Students page. The SCDE provided the survey links for parents so parents may not have a link for all their children.

If worn properly, pants, shorts, skirts/skorts should not need to be held in place by the student’s hands.

Leggings, jeggings, exercise pants, tights, leotards, see-through pants, or tight fitting spandex type-pants/shorts may not be worn as outer garments. If such items are worn, a blouse, dress, shirt or sweater must be long enough to meet the fingertip length rule stated above. No holes above the fingertip length on pants. All holes above this must be patched before arriving at school.
