Good afternoon, Shady Hills families,

At Shady Hills Elementary, we are proud of the strong relationships we have with our students and families. One of the best ways we can understand what matters most to our school community is by hearing directly from you.

The Family Feedback Survey is an opportunity to share your family's experiences, what you value most about our school and how we can continue supporting the success of our students and families.

Survey Window: October 5-16

Estimated Completion Time: 5-10 minutes, with the opportunity to provide additional open-ended comments

Survey Link: https://tejoin.com/participate/170435389

The feedback you share helps us understand what's working well for students and families and how we can continue building on our strengths. Your feedback also helps district leaders identify successful practices, understand family experiences, and make decisions that support students and schools across the district.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I look forward to learning from your feedback and continuing to work together to support the success of every student and family at Shady Hills Elementary School.

Thank you and have a blessed day.
