Parent Satisfaction Survey
An email was sent out earlier this afternoon containing a link to a parent satisfaction survey for each grade level (K-6, 7-8, 9-12) in which you have children. The survey will remain open until January 28, 2013. Your answers will be anonymous and confidential. This survey focuses mostly on your child's teachers, but please know that we value your feedback regarding all aspects of our school. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to provide input about curriculum and many other areas in a 2nd semester survey this spring. We look forward to your input and ideas from this year as we strive to continuously improve our programs. If you did not receive an email, please contact Janet.Dinnen@cmca12.com
