Climate and Connectedness Survey
Family Parents,
The Anchorage School District is partnering with the Association of Alaska School Boards to conduct the School Climate and Connectedness Survey©, a statewide survey for students, staff, and families. This survey measures their perceptions of each school's climate including engagement of students, staff, and families. School staff will use the results to inform their efforts to ensure we have a supportive and caring program for homeschool families.
Family Partnership parent/guardians are asked to complete a family survey. Please log on to the survey here: surveys.panoramaed.com/aasb
Your access code: familypartnershipfamily
The family survey is open now and will remain open until March 31st.
Because Family Partnership is a homeschool program, please answer the survey questions through the perspective of your child's home education or skip the questions that do not apply.
Thank you for your cooperation in this year’s School Climate and Connectedness Survey.
Sincerely,
Jessica Parker
Family Partnership Principal

See a new poem here each week
Now we are Six - By: A.A. Milne
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
Our Annual Poetry Jam will be held on April 9th, 2020 at 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Get ready for the fun by making poetry part of your day today!
