Dear Amazing Bennett Families,
Each year, McKinney ISD seeks feedback from parents through a survey called the BrightBytes Survey. Please take 5 minutes to help our school make technology decisions. This is an anonymous survey regarding your technology use. It will take approximately five minutes to complete the survey. Your answers are very important!
Proud to be a BEAR,
Amy

Move More Tips for Getting Active:
1. Get out the leash and walk your dog.
