School Survey - Considerations for the Elementary

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

This community survey is being administered with the hopes of determining whether there is a need to look at shifting our Elementary into a public charter school. There is significant funding available for this effort, but we need our school communities help to consider if it is something worth looking into! It is essential that communities and families work together to ensure social and academic success for our young people. A school should be innovative in that it weaves together our community ideas to create spaces that sets every child up for success. We need your help to decide on the importance new offerings for our elementary school and what a new model for school should look like.
