Capturing Kids' Hearts Family Survey

Each year, we invite parents to share feedback on our Capturing Kids' Hearts processes. The survey focuses on the climate and culture at Washington Street Elementary, helping us celebrate successes and identify areas for growth. Your input is invaluable, and the survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete. Thank you!
