Parent Satisfaction Survey
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Our Parent Satisfaction Survey offers you an opportunity to reflect on your child’s / children’s school environment. Collecting these data allow us to recognize the good work that many in the district accomplish every day, and to identify gaps in performance that should be addressed.
We have 100 responses to date; thank you! If you have not yet participated, I invite you to access the survey here for an opportunity to provide feedback: Access Survey Here
The survey remains open through April 30. Thank you,
Encourage Your Children to Read through Biblionasium
Dear Parents,
As a school, we are trying to build a culture of reading amongst students. To help with this, we are using Biblionasium as a way for students to track and log their reading, review books, plan for books they want to read in the future and share the books they love with their friends and teachers.
Parental encouragement at home can make a considerable difference in students’ reading success. I would encourage you to become an active part of your child’s reading experience to see what your child is reading, wants to read, and to also promote the love of reading at home.
Biblionasium is an online tool that students can access from any computer or Chromebook with an Internet connection. To access your child’s Biblionasium account and to see what your students are logging in class, please see these Biblionasium Parent Instructions.
Sincerely,
Nick Kotek (District Library Media Specialist)
