Last Chance Stuart - We Can Do This!
We need your support in completing the Fall 2020 Parent Survey. The results of this survey will help us better meet your needs and the needs of YOUR Raptor. Please take a few minutes to complete. Results of previous survey have already helped us improve our practice (including this newsletter). We need to get to at least 400 parents responding. We are currently at 240...we need 160 more of you to take it. If we get to 400 parents, our staff will get a food truck. A food truck at Stuart can seriously help with school morale. So, please help us get to that goal!
Your feedback directly impacts your Raptor. Changes we have made thanks to your feedback (according to the Student Advisory Council) are:
- Teachers are much more responsive to students when they are emailed.
- Workload in Social Studies and Exploratories have decreased significantly.
- Steps to turn in assignments have been simplified.
- Students feel they are receiving more academic support.
HERE is the link to the survey.
