Mr. Douglas Cook
Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Leon County Schools’ Title I Office is administering the Parent and Family Engagement Survey for Spring 2022. The survey allows our school and our district’s Title I Office to understand the aspects of the parent/family and school relationship. The information gathered will be used to guide continual improvement within our school to better serve you and our students.
The survey administration period is Monday, April 11, 2022 through Friday, May 20, 2022.
The Parent and Family Engagement Survey is available online and by paper in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Swahili, and Arabic. Parents/guardians can select their language preference by clicking on the appropriate link or QR code.
Paper surveys may be used for parents/guardians who are unable to access a computer or device with internet connection. Please let us know if you need a hard copy of the survey.
