The annual Title 1/Safe Schools survey is now available for parents and guardians to complete. I encourage you to complete the survey, linked below, in order to better help our school and district learn and grow!
There will be various opportunities for parents and guardians to complete the survey throughout the month of May. The survey will close on May 30th.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey and please reach out if you have any questions. Have a great day!
