Parents/Guardians: Please Take the Panorama Survey

The Panorama Survey is issued to parents and guardians, students and staff of the San Mateo Union High School District every year. Each of these groups is given a survey unique to their group.

The District is issuing this survey, because we want to know what each of these groups think about their experience in our schools.

We want to know your thoughts and opinions on:

  • School culture and climate
  • Communications from the District/school to you
  • Opportunities for engagement with your school community

The parent/guardian survey takes about 14 minutes to complete. You can also take the survey in Spanish.
