Gateway School 2012 Family Survey 2

2.Gateway Family Survey 2012

Dear Gateway Parent,

Gateway's Board of Trustees is conducting our annual survey of all Gateway families. Your opinions are important to us; they assist us in directing the school at a strategic level, and help us to understand how well we are delivering on our school's mission.

Please take a few minutes to fill out this year's survey; it should only take about five minutes. We ask that you submit only one survey per family, please. If you are willing, please leave your name at the end of the survey to enter a chance to win one free week in Gateway's Summer Camp or one week of a morning or afternoon summer class, based on availability.

Gateway's Board of Trustees is involved in budgetary and long-range planning for the school as a whole. We constantly strive to improve the school, and we appreciate your help in making informed decisions. The survey will be available for two weeks and we will let you know in advance when we will be closing it to new responses.

Percy will share the results of the survey at this year's Town Hall meeting on April 18th.
