Parents and families play a powerful role in shaping the success of our school. That’s why we’re asking you to take a few minutes to complete the Community Engagement Survey and the Climate & Culture Survey. Please scan the QR Codes for each survey.
Why is this important?
It gives YOU a voice in decisions that affect your child’s education.
It helps us understand what we are doing well and where we can grow.
It strengthens the partnership between school and home.
It ensures that every student feels supported, safe, and valued.
The feedback we receive will directly guide how we improve our school environment, support our students, and build even stronger connections with families.
When parents and schools work together, students thrive—and your input makes that possible! 💙🐾
Please take a few minutes to complete both surveys. Your feedback helps us build the best learning environment for every child!
