One of the MOST IMPORTANT things you can do to help our school will take you less than an hour* total. We are asking all parents to take a survey, after they become informed about the La Jolla Cluster Partnership Agreement. If you were not able to attend our Town Hall meeting last week, you can learn about the Agreement by attending TODAY'S Principals Chat OR by clicking here to hear a 21-minute Powerpoint presentation.

Once you've learned about the positive impact the Agreement can have on our schools, please click the link below to take a survey:

*Two actions are required:
1) 'Becoming informed' will take about 21-45 minutes (depending on whether you watch the Powerpoint presentation on our website, or attend the Principal's Chat. You can also view the full Town Hall presentation on our website, which runs just under an hour).
2) The survey will take you another 10-15 minutes.

This is time WELL SPENT for the future of our
La Jolla public schools!
