Reminder: Survey For Parents and Guardians: Our District believes in a culture of continuous improvement
in order to help every student reach their potential. As part of our improvement process, we are reaching out to our
students’ parents and guardians to help us understand what we are doing well and where we can improve. To ac-
complish this goal, all parents were emailed a survey on Wednesday, November 8th, from School Perceptions (the
company we hired to conduct the survey). We value your thoughts and strongly encourage you to participate in this
important survey to help us shape the direction of our future. The survey will close on Wednesday, November 22nd,
