District Survey
Our school and district would like to have your feedback about the culture and climate of our school. The results of this survey will be used to improve the programs and services that support teachers and student learning. To this end, we are asking students, staff, and parents/guardians to complete a survey about their experiences in school. Below you will find the link for parents and guardians.
This is an anonymous survey, which means it does not ask for your name or any information that would identify you personally. You are not required to answer any question that makes you feel uncomfortable. This is an important opportunity for you to provide feedback on Deerfield and Avondale. We want to learn from you the things you like best and the things you feel need improvement. Only by receiving constructive feedback can we focus our efforts in the areas that are most meaningful to you. Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to participate. We appreciate it!
Here is a link to the survey: https://tinyurl.com/avondaleparentguardian. The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Thank you in advanced for your time and honest feedback!
