Sierra County TCMSD Community Schools Survey

Thank you for completing this survey. It takes about 10 minutes. Your voice is important, so we very much appreciate your time and your feedback. This survey includes questions for students, parents and family members, teachers, and community members. We realize that the survey is challenging for younger students, and don't expect a significant response from elementary grades, unless some students are helped with the survey.  Your answers are confidential, as we will be reporting summaries that will not share any individual's answers.
