School of Excellence - Spring Survey
Shelton PTSA is working hard for a National PTSA grant through improving our family/school partnerships with the school. This survey helps measure how well PTSA partners with Shelton to meet goals set out by the National PTSA School of Excellence program.

Additional information is included below on some of our efforts and improvement opportunities that were identified as a result of the baseline survey results from this past fall.

Please use the following to help in your rankings: 1= unknown; 2 = never; 3 = sometimes; 4 = frequently; 5 = always.
