2013 Parent Surveys
It is once again time for our annual Vine Hill School survey! Every year the School Site Council uses this important information to help us dissect every part of our school including safety, academics and social and emotional components. Once we collect the information, we use it to help us write the school safety and school improvement plans.
It matters so much that we hear from every family so we can get honest, balanced and realistic responses. The members of the School Site Council personally read each survey and we take the content seriously. Please complete a survey for each of your children:
Michelle Stewart, Principal, and the Vine Hill School Site Council open letter requesting parent survey feedback with additional instructions.
