First Grade Parent Survey

As we are coming to the end of first grade, I welcome your feedback on how the year went and how we can work together to make this a positive and enriching experience for your child. While it may seem early for an evaluation, I want to ensure every family has the opportunity to share thoughts, ask questions, or offer suggestions—especially if you didn’t have a chance to do so at Back to School Night.

This survey is anonymous, and I sincerely appreciate your input. Please keep feedback focused on the classroom experience. Click the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6811TomDY38qTNx3rbBVpvSAcKm9MRGZ2D9Izu-i79cWk5g/viewform

Amazon Wishlist:
