Dear Families,
Thank you to those of you who have already filled out our family PBIS survey! We've had a greater response so far than we've EVER had at GHA, and I'm really thrilled with the feedback we've received from you. If you haven't yet given us your very valuable feedback, please take a few minutes to do so here.
So far, the areas of our district and program that you've identified as our strengths have been the environment (well-maintained building, organized classrooms, and up-to-date materials and curriculum), interpersonal relationships (your student feels successful at school, student is recognized for good behavior, you are comfortable talking to your student's teachers, staff communicate well, you feel welcome, and all students are treated fairly), and school safety (clear rules for behavior, student feels safe at school, student feels safe going to and from school, rules are consistently enforced, and rules and procedures are fair).
An area that you've identified as a need for growth is parental involvement (parent attends parent/teacher conferences, parent is actively involved in student's school, and parent frequently volunteers to help with school projects). We recognize that this is an area we need to focus on developing from the inside-out. This year has certainly put constraints on what we're able to do in terms of having families on-site, but that just means we need to think creatively to find opportunities for family involvement outside of our old norms. Your partnership means the world to us, and we will continue working to develop this area for and with you. I am always open to feedback or suggestions, if there's anything in particular you would love to see happen at GHA. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
I hope you have a truly wonderful weekend!
Tia
