PT School District Newsletter
March 18, 2024
Dear Families,
As spring happily returns, we would love it if you would take a few minutes to complete our Annual Family Survey. Every spring PT Schools surveys our students, staff and families to hear what matters to you. We administer these Educational Effectiveness Surveys each year and your answers help shape our plans, policies and new areas of growth. Please complete it by March 29th. We want to hear from you!
You can see past survey answers and how we incorporated them into our school planning in our 2022-2023 Annual Report for the last school year. This report also shares how our students are doing on meeting or exceeding grade level standards in math, ELA and science along with our sources of funding and expenditures. We are so proud of our hard working students. Thank you for supporting school bonds and levies so we can keep helping them thrive.
Thank you for completing the Annual Family Survey, we look forward to hearing from you.
Dr. Linda
Superintendent
