Feedback Form FAQ 22-23
“Feedback Form” Submissions from week of 1/30:
Will the kids be split up again for the Valentines Day dance? Grades 4-5 were very disappointed in the last dance due to being moved to the cafeteria which gave off a much different vibe than the gym. When visiting the gym, it seemed there was plenty of space for dancing for all. The concession stand was an issue with long lines but the dance space seemed plenty big for everyone. Maybe if a large amount RSVP’s again, and safety is an issue, could it be considered to have K-2 in the cafeteria and 3-5 in the gym to switch it up so they have a chance to be in the gym this time?
- Thank you for your feedback. All registration forms were due by last Friday. I will touch base with Ms. Lloyd this week to see what our numbers are to ensure safety and fun for all! I believe the cafeteria will be used this time for all K-5 as there are currently athletic events/practices scheduled in the gym. We will keep you updated! Thanks for the suggestions.
If you email or canvas message a teacher when should be the turn around time for a reply?
- We ask our teachers to operate on a 48-72 hour response time to respond to emails/phone calls. Please reach out to me directly if you aren't getting teacher response and I'll help you get into contact with them.
