Families: a letter about an upcoming student climate survey went home today. I have also attached information about this survey here. This survey is voluntary for students and families. If you would like to OPT OUT your student, please complete and return the form sent home today. If it is okay for your student to take the survey, you do not have to do anything. There is also a parent survey, and we would love your participation. There is a unique code that has to be entered in order to take the survey. This code will be shared on Schoology. If you have any questions about the parent or student survey, feel free to contact the school counselor!
