Survey -Communication and Safety
Be on the lookout for a parent survey regarding communication and safety. The last needs assessment that parents completed and returned to school revealed these two areas for growth. You will be asked to consider the ways that you best communicate with teachers and how our school can best relate important information to you. Also, in what ways could we better support positive feelings of safety at our school?
Congrats, Leaders!
