The Metro East Web Academy provides a technology-rich 21st century learning model that ensures student success in a rapidly evolving learning, work, and community environment.
Dear Parents and Students:
We need your help.
Metro East Web Academy will be going through the school accreditation process within the next two years. During this process, survey information from students who attend MEWA through the GED program, the early college program, or the middle school and high school programs, and who have a vested interest in its ongoing development and improvement is required. The attached survey is different from surveys that we have sent out in the past - this one is a bit longer and more robust, and will be reviewed by a state accrediting agency.
Please do take the time to fill out the survey at the following link:
Your survey information will remain anonymous.
Because this is such an important step for us, we will be offering two $100.00 Amazon Gift Cards in a drawing for all parents and two $100.00 Amazon Gift Cards for students who fill out the survey. After filling it in, please send a quick email to Hillary at radford@mewebacademy.org, with the message line: Parent Survey. You will then be entered in the drawing for one of the gift cards.
Again, thanks so much for your support and your ongoing involvement in this school.

Ms. Riehl wanted us to pass on this message: I am thankful for the time that I have spent at MEWA.
