This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal environment in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment. You can take the survey online by using the following unique school link: https://www.pbisassessment.org/Anon/MNK2078E4G0 Please complete the survey by Friday, March 10, 2023. Thanks!!
