Parent Feedback Needed
It is that time of year again where we need your input!! Please take a few minutes to take our Comprehensive School Climate Inventory. This helps us to get your input about what is working well at school and what kinds of things we could improve upon. The survey is designed to get your perception of the school environment, including safety, relationships, support for learning, and the environment within the school. Your responses are anonymous but we would like to show our appreciation for you taking the time to complete the survey.
Once you have completed the survey please send an email to Jean Maldonado at jmaldonado@crec.org so you can be entered into a raffle!
The survey will be open until March 22.
