Welcome to the Garibaldi Secondary Ҵý Student Survey
The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows Ҵý District (SD42) is gathering input from students, staff, and families across the district on potential changes to secondary school schedules at individual secondary schools. While some secondary schools may shift from a linear to a semester model, Garibaldi Secondary must continue with a linear schedule to support its Middle Years and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.
As a result, Garibaldi Secondary has a separate survey that focuses not on choosing between schedule models, but on identifying the supports and structures that will continue to strengthen student success within the existing linear model.
Your feedback is important and will help ensure that Garibaldi’s schedule continues to support student well-being, learning, and engagement.
Questions marked with an asterisk (*) require an answer.
