Newton South Guidance & Counseling Survey

Communication with families is vital to the work we do. Three years ago, in an effort to gain a better understanding of the Guidance Department’s strengths and areas for improvement, the Guidance Advisory Committee developed a short survey for families. Feedback from that survey provided direction for us to revamp the Newton South Guidance Department website, enhance our developmental guidance lessons, and create our new college planning guide. We hope you will take a moment to again provide us with valuable input to help us to assess our growth and identify areas for continued improvement. Please do not include the names of students or counselors when completing the survey.

Your input matters. We hope you will take a few minutes to complete the survey.
