1. CPS 2010 Parent Survey

We are excited about the new school year and look forward to sharing many Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) - sponsored programs and activities with you and your family.

To better serve our students, families and teachers, we need your input, feedback and suggestions. We are committed to building on the work that, with you, this organization has already accomplished, and also to improving our organization and our school. So please complete the following quick on-line survey. There are 10 questions, and it should take you 10 minutes to complete!!!

So that we can report results at the first PTO meeting, please complete by Friday, August 27th. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Braun at 806.3916 or michellebraun@earthlink.net.

Thanks so much for your support!

-Your 2010 – 2011 PTO Board
