The **School Climate and Connectedness Survey** is now open through **March 21, 2025**. This survey provides an important opportunity to gather feedback from parents, guardians, and community members on key topics such as **school climate, school safety,** and **barriers to engagement**.

Your input is invaluable in helping us understand where families need more support and in ensuring we can work together as partners in your children’s learning.
