Take the Parent Survey
by Tuesday, October 29
Earlier this week, parents received this email asking all Fletcher families to take this brief 15-minute survey (only one response per family, please).
This anonymous survey will help us with our strategic planning process by learning more about our current strengths, opportunity areas, and how we can best support new and current students and families.
The survey is best completed on a desktop but can also be taken on a tablet or phone.
Thank you to everyone who has already completed the survey! If you haven’t participated yet, we’d love your feedback by Tuesday, October 29.
