Gallup Family Engagement Survey contest

We want all of our families to fill out the Gallup survey that was sent to your student's primary guardian email. Right now Savannah has heard from 13% of possible respondents. We are in a competition. Right now we are in 2nd place for the Braswell Zone. Let's see if we can jump to first. We are SO CLOSE!!!

BONUS: If Savannah reaches 70% respondents, Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Norris and the Special Areas team will SPEND THE NIGHT AT THE SCHOOL.

This survey is conducted through Gallup. If you experience a technical problem, please contact Gallup by emailing educationhelp@gallupmail.com or calling 1-888-332-9454.

Happy Wednesday, Gator Families!

Fall Festival: Our Savannah PTA knocked it out of the park with our top-notch Fall Festival. The events were fun, the Savannah Choir performance was stellar (Great work Mr. Archbold!), and the treats were tasty. We had a great time visiting with kids and families. Thank you to Lori Kakashvili and Ivy Solis, our fearless PTA leaders, and all who volunteered to make the festival happen.

Gallup Survey: Your feedback through the Denton ISD Family Engagement Survey will help us understand how to strengthen our relationship with you and your family. The link from the survey was sent via email from Gallup to your student's primary guardian account. The survey only takes around five minutes to complete. Right now our school has only heard from 13% of possible respondents. We are in a competition in the district for the highest participation. Let's see if we can win, Gators!!!
