Dear parents:
In the survey link below, we are requesting your input regarding potential changes for MEWA next fall. We would also like to follow up with similar questions that we asked last January to gather additional information on how we are doing. Comments are not required, but are appreciated.
It is our belief that for continuous improvement, we must engage our parent partners and seek feedback relative to our program and school. It is also a requirement for our annual accreditation and evaluation for Gresham Barlow School District that we frequently survey parents. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. All responses are anonymous.
Thank you very much for your support and help as we continue to improve our school.
Dear students:
We would like to ask your opinion about our proposed changes for next school year. Please click on this survey link!
