2008 Leon County Schools Climate Survey

(6th and 8th grade only)

Attached is the 2008 Leon County Schools Climate Survey along with a parent
comment form.  These forms are intended to allow parents the opportunity to
offer their opinions about the different areas of services provided by Cobb
Middle School.  Our students, faculty, staff and administrators also
complete the survey.  The data we receive from these surveys will help Cobb
and the district in planning for the future needs.  We greatly appreciate
all of the support we have received from you in the past and hope to
continue to receive in the future.
Please complete the attached forms and give them to your student to return
to their PC teacher on Friday, Jan.18 .
