Skinner North Family Survey (Thinking to SY23)
Your opinion is very important to us as we plan for the next school year. You and our students have experienced two years unlike any other with varied schedules and ways to engage (remote, hybrid, flip to remote, in person, etc.). Your experiences help use better plan and think through the coming year.
Please complete this anonymous survey to share your thoughts on what, in your thinking, would be helpful to prioritize for your child(ren) and also best ways for us to engage your family next school year. The information will help us to further plan for budget allocations in alignment with our CIWP (Continuous Improvement Work Plan) for the coming school year.
The survey will close on Thursday, March 31. Use this link to access.
