Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please take a few moments to participate in the 2017 Parent Climate Survey. Each day staff, students, and volunteers at Caraway work hard to ensure that our campus environment and academic programs meet the needs of all our children.
You are a critical part of our success! Your opinions matter and will help to improve our school and district.
The survey will only be available for a short time. Your survey is completely anonymous. Also, please complete a separate survey for each child that you have at Caraway. Survey is available until March 10th.

Parent Ambassador Program
Parent Ambassador Outreach Program
We are happy to welcome new students and their families to Kathy Caraway Elementary. As newcomers and current parents of students attending Kathy caraway , we understand how exciting and challenging a new home and school can be. With that in mind the school and PTA have created the “ Parent Ambassador Outreach Program” to help students and families feel welcome into our community.
This program is dedicated to create partnerships with new and existing families in supporting them with any questions and concerns they might have with the school and the community . It is important to us in Kathy Caraway to provide the tools and information necessary to make this school year a success for our students and their families.
As parents we want our children to strive in school and this increases when we engage with the community. Thats why it is important to partner with the PTA in order to help with all programs that benefit our school, our children, and our community. Parents can volunteer with several school-wide events and programs that are coordinated through PTA in partnership with the school . Among them are our annual Harvest festival, Family dinner night, Giving tree donation drive and many more.
Chair: Reshma Khan
