Dear Parents:

As you may know, our district receives funding from the Department of Education to expand extended learning opportunities for the benefit of the educational, health, social service, cultural, and recreational needs of Solvay and Geddes students and their families. This program is titled B.E.S.T. During the first three years of the grant, we offered an array of program and activities to both students and families. As a parent in our district, we are very interested in your feedback. The information you provide will help better meet the needs of our students and families in the future.

With the school closure in March, we have initiated virtual programming. Please consider the full year when answering the questions. You will have the opportunity to answer questions specific to the post-closure program at the end of the survey.

The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete.  Please be assured your responses will remain completely confidential as they will be tallied by Laura Payne-Bourcy Consulting Services. To thank you for your time, you have the opportunity to have your name entered into a raffle to win one of two $25 gift cards. Please complete the survey no later than June 12, 2020.

Thank you, in advance, for your time.
Mike Emmi
Project Director – 21st Century Learning Grant
