- A Parent Survey will be created using Survey Monkey for Conferences. We are offering a drawing and prizes to create interest and encourage our parents to go to the Library and take the survey. After each conference you will hand them a slip and ask them to go take the survey at our Library. They will use the same reminder slip as their entry into the drawing for prizes. These slips will be created and put in your Mailboxes by Tuesday. The drawing will be done the following week and announced to parents and students.
