Parent Community Engagement and Involvement Survey (2018-19)

Parental Community Engagement and Involvement Survey

Engagement of students, parents, staff and community members is important to the Monterey Peninsula School District.

You input matters! We want to hear how your school is doing to involve and engage you in your child's education and our decision making process. Your input is particularly valued as we continue to align our goals and financial resources.

Your feedback will help MPUSD and your school provide effective communications, and improve on customer service and programs.
