Parent Culture and Climate Surveys- Spring 2022
It's that time of the year where all JEFCOED Schools Complete the Culture and Climate Surveys.
The purpose of this survey is to identify strengths, areas of concern, and to plan for future growth in your child's school.
Read each statement and choose the response that most closely matches your opinion.
Please answer each item honestly. Your responses will be completely confidential.
Your opinion is important to us as we make decisions for our school.

March Opportunities- Possible Parent and Student Lunch Visits
We will continue to monitor our daily absentee list due to illnesses and we will continue to monitor our daily school procedures to see if we can allow this opportunity.
More information will be sent out after a week's worth of monitoring to determine if this is possible.
