Last Chance - Parent Survey - The School Accountability Committee has crafted a brand new parent and caregiver survey this year with busy families in mind. The survey will take only five minutes (or less) to complete and in turn will give the board and the school as a whole, valuable information about the successes and opportunities we have. SAC will also be hosting a daily spirit wear giveaway for those that complete the survey. Your school board is asking for full participation so that we can continue to ensure greatness in all of our schools. The survey will be open through 2/28. Here is the link (survey).
