The Language Arts Curricular Review Survey
| |
Every year at Foote School we take time to reflect on different parts of our curricular program. During the 2012-2013 school year, we are reviewing our English language arts program. As part of this review, we are asking for feedback from current parents. The following survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We thank you in advance for your participation.
Please click here to view the survey.
The survey is completely anonymous, and we encourage your honest feedback so that we can continue to improve our program.
If you have questions, please email Megan Maher at mmaher@footeschool.org.
