News from Principal Kimberly Seiss
Dear FCPS Parents and Guardians:
FCPS has launched a survey to gather your perceptions about your child's school. The survey will close Friday, February 22. North Frederick sent home a letter in our Thursday folders (1/31). The letter included a link for parents and guardians to access and complete an online survey. This link, Perceptual Survey is specific to North Frederick Elementary. Please do not share this link with other families whose children do not attend NFES. A limited number of paper copies of the survey are also available in the front office.
Parent/guardian feedback is important to FCPS and the staff at North Frederick as we continue our work building on strengths and striving to make improvement as a partner in your child's education.
Please contact our front office if you have any question about the survey.
Thank you!
