Pyramid Model Parent Survey
The Fridley Preschool has started a multi-year training related to the Pyramid Model. The Pyramid Model is an additional layer of support for our students, focusing on positive language and behaviors. As part of this journey, we are seeking your input as a family. We would like to ask that you fill out this Google Survey. This survey will be open until Monday, March 11 at 4 pm. Your input is welcomed and very important to us. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your student's teacher or Karin Beckstrand. Thank you.
