Dear Families,
Limestone is committed to supporting every student in achieving success. To do this, we need to better understand how students’ identities, experiences, and academic outcomes are connected. That is why we are launching our second See Yourself in Limestone Student Census Survey this November.
The Student Census is a voluntary survey for students in Grades 4 to 12. It gathers information about students’ identities and their experiences at school. This data is then paired with academic information to help us understand what school is like for different groups of students.
It is important to note that:
- The survey is optional.
- Responses are confidential.
- Students can choose to answer as much or as little of the survey as they wish.
The goal is to identify ways schools can better support students and ensure everyone has what they need to succeed. The insights we gain will help Limestone break down barriers and improve school experiences for all students.
The census will be available from November 24 to 28, 2025, and students will complete it during class time. If you prefer that your student not participate, you can opt them out by contacting your school principal. Students who are opted out will not receive the survey in their e-mail inbox and will be provided with an alternative activity during the survey period.
Opt-out deadline: Friday, November 14, 2025

If you have any questions, please contact your school principal, e-mail us at StudentCensus@limestone.on.ca, or call 613-389-2294.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.
