The Student Experience: Feedback & Findings
Dear Valentine Hills families,
Last month, every elementary school and kindergarten center in our district gathered information and perceptions about the student experience. I invite you now to review the findings of the Valentine Hills parent survey.
I want to thank everyone who shared their important perspectives with us. As you’ll see, we have much to be proud of at Valentine Hills, yet there’s always room for improvement. In response to what we are learning, Valentine Hills will analyze these findings and will work with school and District staff to guide future continuous improvement plans.
As always, please contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas. I thank you for your ongoing support of our school and our students.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Samec
Principal
