Our school values your feedback! We are currently surveying Baker-Butler families to gain insight into your perception of what we do well and what we can do better at our school. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.
To administer these surveys, ACPS has partnered with Panorama Education. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our ACPS schools the best they can be.
Complet the survey by May 1st using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the website:

We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses.
