Dear Parents and Students:  

Dear Parent, Guardian, and Students!


It is that time of the year when we ask parents, guardians, and students for their feedback.  This includes Early College and GED Students and Parents. We use this information in two ways: 1) We are always striving to improve our program and genuinely want to know how we can improve. 2) We are evaluated annually from an outside organization (Portland State University) for the purpose of validating our charter with Gresham Barlow School District and for our annual report to their board.  This year it is especially important as we will be asking the GBSD board to renew our charter next year.  All of our achievement data and survey information will be used to inform the GBSD Board of Directors as they make their decision as to whether or not to renew our charter.  Upon completion of the survey, please send Hillary your name stating that you completed the survey and will we put your name in a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Card!  

Hillary's email is: radford@mewebacademy.org



Thanks you for your help with this important undertaking.

Dr. Gray
