GRANADA COMMUNITY
As your principal, I’d like to strongly encourage your participation in our district’s 2025 Parent/Guardian Feedback Survey. Your anonymous feedback is essential in helping Granada High School staff and teachers better support your student’s academic success, strengthen communication with families, and ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all.
I look forward to seeing how we can use your input to enact change where needed and to prioritize the continuation of what’s working well. You should have received an email with the survey link from LVJUSD Community Engagement on Monday, January 21. If you haven’t already completed the survey, please check your inbox or spam folder. Should you need the survey link resent, please reach out to communityengagement@lvjusd.org or call 925-960-2919 for assistance. The deadline to complete the survey is Friday, January 31, at 11:59 p.m.
