Newell Irrigator Elementary Families!
We are sending out a survey that is imperative for collecting data in understanding what the elementary school is doing well and where we can improve.
The purpose of the survey is to determine the parents’ and families’ perceptions and thoughts regarding the school. We are doing a data analysis at the end of January to make further plans toward improvements so we can keep our school heading in the right direction.
You can find the link to the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSed5tzEydn0SESedmLwitJf-DTQ4culfl9dy4H4FnjhG2GiNQ/viewform
Your participation is greatly appreciated as it not only helps the entire school, but each individual student on a deep level.
Questions? Paul.clark@k12.sd.us
