Families Invited to Share Feedback on School Improvement Efforts
In Cumberland County Schools (CCS), we are committed to continuous improvement. Our mission is to provide a safe, positive, and rigorous learning environment to prepare lifelong learners to reach their maximum potential.
As part of the district’s continuous improvement efforts, our school is participating in the accreditation process with the accrediting body Cognia to learn more about the quality of our school’s programs. This process takes place every five years and includes the collection of data through surveys to students, staff and families.
Your feedback will help us identify areas of strength and opportunities to elevate the quality of our school. Families are invited to complete a brief survey -https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/209610/65160
You have until January 27, 2023, to respond, so don’t wait!
