OSPI and PTA: Seeking your input on recess in your elementary school!

During the 2009 legislative session, the Legislature passed Substitute Senate Bill (SSB) 5551, which directs the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Washington State Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to collaborate on a statewide survey to develop a richer understanding of recess practices and perceptions around the value of recess in Washington’s public elementary schools.

Please complete the recess survey by clicking here You may consult with other school personnel to answer the questions. Please submit only one survey per elementary building.
