Family Engagement Survey
2/12 - Surveys open for families
3/1 - Surveys window closes
Our district values your feedback! We are currently surveying BEAVER TECH families in order to gain insight into your perception of our school and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.
To administer these surveys, we have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2021 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district as good as they can be.
You may complete the survey online between FEB. 12 and MARCH 1 using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Here is the link: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/garlandisd/FamilyWinter2024/surveys .
We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kindness Month has arrived! Every February we work together to highlight kindness, respect, and consideration towards others. Our students will have lots of opportunities to show kindness and think of others this month through different kindness challenges.
Classroom Kindness Challenge - Students work together to complete kindness challenges throughout the month! As challenges are completed, classes will fill up their heart charts.
Family Kindness Challenge - Students will take home a Kindness Scavenger Hunt to complete with their family. Every student that completes it will have a fun picnic lunch with Ms. Sinclair!

Let's grow kind kids by giving them intentional opportunities to show kindness to their classmates, their school, and the world around them!
