Comprehensive Needs Assessment Surveys

Hello everyone!

As we begin the planning process for the 2015-2016 school year, it is once again time for us to conduct our annual comprehensive needs assessment. The needs assessment begins with soliciting input from all stakeholders about the process of improving our schools.  We would like to receive input from all of our parents so please complete this survey by February 17^th, 2015 at 5:00 pm.   Thanks for your support of Statham Elementary!

El Sistema Escolar del Condado de Barrow ha empezado a planificar para el próximo año escolar 2015-2016. El Distrito Escolar les pide a todos los padres que contesten un cuestionario para ayudarnos durante este proceso de planificación.  El cuestionario es bilingüe y podrá encontrarlo a hacer un clic en:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R8MQT8D

El cuestionario nos ayuda a proporcionar los fondos federales de los Tíulos I-A, II-A, y III en cuanto al mejoramiento de servicios a los estudiantes y a los padres, y a los maestros, tomando en cuenta sus opiniones como padres sobre el uso de estos fondos.
