Reminder to our School Community that the district has lauched a Summer Recreation Community Input Survey to gather feedback from students, families, and members of our school community. Your responses will help us:
*Prioritize summer recreation offerings
*Better understand interest levels across age groups
*Consider logistics, scheduling, and accessibility
*Explore cost-sharing options to make programs affordable and sustainable
Your voice is essential in shaping meaningful, engaging, and inclusive summer opportunities for our students. The survey is brief, and feedback will be used to guide planning and decision-making for upcoming summer programs.
📝 Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your ideas. The survey will close in just a few days, on Jan 31, 2026.
Thank you for partnering with us to build strong, enriching summer experiences for our students and families!
