Parent Survey
Our district would like information from our parents. We are looking to determine parents’ perception of technology’s effectiveness at helping students. We are looking at the different types and amounts of technology within the district. All of the information will be combined into “groups” for comparison- not the individual level. Please take a few moments to complete the survey. Thanks!
Back to School Night!
I'm looking forward to seeing you at Back to School Night! Here is the schedule:
Back to School Night will Include --
5:00 to 5:20 Introductions/PTA Information
5:20 to 5:50 First Session
5:50 to 6:30 Second Session
