2023 AVHSC Annual Parent Survey

Welcome to the 10-question AVHSC Annual Parent Survey! Your responses are helpful for budget development, fundraising ideas, enrichment programs and other decisions that come up throughout the year. The Board considers every comment during the planning process, and is always open to suggestions. Please take a couple of minutes to respond.

Thank you for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,
The AVHSC Board

Question Title

* 1. The enrichment activities that AVHSC sponsors cost approximately $400/student/year. We currently raise these funds through the annual membership drive in the fall and fundraisers throughout the year (the fall Walkathon, the spring Auction). Some schools ask their parents to contribute all the funds up-front and have no fundraisers during the year - just community events. Would you prefer this approach?

Yes - I'd prefer to just contribute once and not be asked for the rest of the year

No - I'd prefer to spread out my contributions with the membership drive and fundraisers throughout the year

I don't know/I don't have a preference
