We appreciate your time sharing insights regarding the schools your children attend. You have the option of doing this survey once representing all students attending various schools, OR you may take the survey separately for each school that you have children attending.

We are in the process of revising our District Strategic Plan, which guides the development of our district and school improvement plans for the next 3 years. Having this input from parents is essential to us developing plans that meet the needs of all of our constituents.

Thank you for your participation.
