Thanks to everyone who came to parent-teacher conferences last week! We value this partnership. Each fall and spring, we ask families to take a brief survey about our school. Please take 90 seconds to let us know how we are doing. We want to know what you think about your child’s school. The information from the survey will help us improve student relationships, learning conditions, and the school’s overall environment. Your answers are confidential and this survey is voluntary. If you scanned a QR code and took the survey during your conference, you do not need to complete this again. THANK YOU! 🔗 www.tinyurl.com/sbhc2324f
