District Survey Reminder
After a full quarter of in-person/remote, e-learning, and homeschooling, the district would like feedback regarding your student’s experience with these learning models. The survey is short and is estimated to take about two minutes to complete. Families with multiple students should complete the survey once for each student.
Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K5JTJCG
Your feedback will help inform district administration and the Board of Education in their decision making process and efforts to provide the best education possible during the ongoing pandemic.
The survey will close on Sunday, October 25 at midnight and results will be presented to the Board of Education at a November meeting. Survey results will also be shared with families on the district website after being presented to the Board of Education.
