School Improvement Survey  

    

Students were given three pieces of information on Monday (3/17) during homeroom for parents.  The papers included: a letter from the CCSD Superintendent, a survey, and a scantron for answers.  Walton is participating in the survey as a part of the annual improvement process of the district.  The survey was developed by AdvancEd/SACS to gather information about participating schools; and is very important for Walton.  AdvanceEd/SACS is the organization responsible for school/district accreditation.  Please return the survey to our PPO office by Friday, March 21st. 

Students may turn those surveys in during homeroom or deliver them to PPO.  If you have any further questions, contact Karen Lockhart at karen.lockhart@cobbk12.org.
