DUE THIS WEDNESDAY 5/15- The Power of Partnerships, Family Survey: The best way to make sure every student in our school succeeds is to build a strong partnership between families, the school, and the community. The survey below gives you the opportunity to tell us what our school is doing well to support this partnership and what we can do better. Paper copies can be made available upon request. The responses to this survey are critical to our success as a team and we are hoping for 100% participation from our UES families. Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at this school and complete the attached survey (you may recognize it from the Fall, but please complete a new survey reflecting on your experience this year). Check the box that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience. This survey is anonymous. Please follow the link below and complete the survey by May 15. Contact Rachel White, PTA president - uesptapresident@gmail.com, with any questions or concerns. Please complete this survey before Wednesday May 15, 2019.
