The Federal and State Government is requiring schools to gather input from their communities, staff, parents and students regarding services/programs to support students with in-person learning in the COVID environment.
We are asking that you consider completing this short survey that will provide the district with your input as we prepare a COVID budget to support students over the next two years.
