Our school is administering the Measurable Results Assessment (MRA), a survey and
reporting system designed to provide insights into the progress of our school. In order to provide a holistic picture of what is going on in our
school, the MRA includes three different surveys; 1) one completed by all school staff, 2) one completed by students in grades 4 and above,
and 3) one completed by the families of students in all grades.
We hope you will participate so we can use the feedback to make our school an even better place for students and families.
Please complete the Family Survey. This should only take a few minutes of your time. Thank you in advance for supporting our continuous improvement efforts.
