Dear Families,

The Garland ISD Council of PTAs and your Principal know that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders, and community at-large is important for the success of our students and school. That’s why we are participating in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which celebrates partnerships between PTA and schools to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being for all students.

At a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. We feel your school and local PTA and the Council of PTAs can achieve that together – and the result will be national, state and community-wide visibility for the positive impact we are making together at our schools.

We need your help! As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families at two points in the school year – the beginning and end. Your feedback in the beginning of the program will help to generate a customized Roadmap to Excellence, which will provide specific recommendations for improving our family-school partnership and achieving excellence.

Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at this school by going to this website and complete the survey.

If you prefer, you may pick up a paper copy of the survey in the school office. Mark an “X” in the box that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience. This survey is completely anonymous. Please return this survey to your child’s school office by Monday, April 28 2014.

Does this sound like a PTA program you’d really like to help with? Join us! Contact your Principal to learn more!
