School District of Howards Grove
Parent & Guardian Newsletter October 2024
Greetings Parents & Guardians-
Thanks for taking the time to read my monthly newsletter. Enclosed in this month's edition, you will find information about ways you can provide us feedback. Please take a peak and give us your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Shannon Kilton
Superintendent
Last Spring, the School Board approved the use of student, staff, and parent satisfaction surveys to gather feedback from all stakeholders. We are now ready to send out a Fall Survey link to all parents and guardians. This survey will come from the HOWARDS GROVE SCHOOL DISTRICT directly to your email accounts, but is actually coming through the School Perceptions platform. The survey is completely anonymous and will help us with goal setting and overall district improvement strategies. There are a series of simple checkbox opinion questions and a narrative area where parents and guardians can provide written feedback. Please keep an eye out for this survey to hit your email inbox THIS WEEK!
Thanks in advance for taking the time to provide feedback to help our district be the best it can be!
Due to the early start date for the 2024-2025 school year, our last day of school for students in on Wednesday, May 21st, which is before Memorial Day. This impacts our typical summer school schedule and we would like your feedback.
Please take a few minutes to complete this very brief summer school survey.
Stay tuned for the results, which will help you plan for the summer of 2025.
Thank You!
