PARENTS - FULTON COUNTY NEEDS YOUR INPUT!
Dear Woodland Family,
We want to make sure we are moving in the right direction as a district, and we need your help.
We’re asking you to complete a survey to help the district determine if it is meeting targets related to Strategic Plan 2022. The FCS staff is answering a separate set of questions.
The SP2022 survey takes just 10 minutes, and while we will make it available until June 8, we hope you will take the time to answers the questions right away.
Here is a link to the family survey: SP2022 Family Survey (https://bit.ly/2wsKpmd)
We are excited to learn your perceptions of how things are going and identify some areas where we can continue to grow.
If you have any questions, send them to communications@fultonschools.org
Thank you.
