Weekly Scout Report ~ Oct. 6, 24

We are working to improve the character initiative at Nike Elementary, and we would appreciate it if you would complete our parent survey. The information you provide is important to us and will be used in school planning.

The survey should only take 10 minutes of your time. Please complete the survey today, if possible, but no later than October 21, 2024.

Your response to the survey is anonymous, confidential, and voluntary. Responding to the survey constitutes your consent for us to use the information for district and school planning.
