We're launching our quick five-question surveys today in the pick-up line! Be prepared to answer: (1) Your students' language program, (2) On a scale from 1-4, how has instruction been for your family this year? (3) In 1 sentence, what makes you say that? (4) What’s one thing you would want to keep for Trimester 3? (5)What’s one thing you would change for Trimester 3?
If you aren't picking up today, you'll receive a phone call this week or next with the same questions. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and hope you will join us for our Parent Planning Sessions on Zoom next week! See the flyer for details.
