Panorama Surveys
Dear Families,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the parents who participated in our fall panorama survey. As a school and district, we carefully considered your feedback and are actively implementing the necessary changes to benefit our students, parents, and communities. We now kindly invite you to take part in the Spring Panorama Parent-School Survey. Your input is incredibly valuable to us as it helps us understand your perspectives, expectations, and most importantly, provides insights into your children's learning. Additionally, we are eager to learn about any other areas where we can further enhance our services!
We would like to remind you that the Panorama Parent-School Survey enables us to assess various aspects and allows us the flexibility to tailor our approach to best meet the needs of our students. Your participation in this significant survey is greatly appreciated.
We eagerly anticipate your feedback and look forward to our continued collaboration in ensuring the utmost quality learning experience for our students.

Similar to last year, ARUSD will send a special link that will come from InPlay to your mobile phone to make it easy for you to register. Open the link to see all the available summer program choices and a pre-filled registration form just for your child.
Registration will roll out in three phases- Look for a text invitation beginning March 25th, 2024 for students requiring additional support. All other students will have an opportunity to register during the general registration rollout beginning April 15th, 2024.
If you are having issues enrolling your child after receiving your invite, please come to the office to receive assistance from our community liaison Mr. Carlos.
