March 16th PD Survey (REMINDER)

The “March 16th PD Survey” was supposed to have been completed by 5:00pm on Friday, March 25th. If you have not already done so, please take a moment to fill out a brief survey regarding the Professional Development sessions that were held on March 16th. The survey can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9MC37XG. The last page of the survey asks for you to include your name. You are not required to print this page.

School Surveys (REMINDER)

The school survey process continues. It is extremely important that all of your advisees complete the survey. Surveys should be turned in to Monica each week. Compliance with completion will be closely monitored. All surveys must be completed by Friday, April 1st.

Also, please remind students to be on the lookout for the 2011 NYC School Survey for parents in the mail. This survey was mailed to the homes of students whose parents did not pick it up at Parent Conferences. Students who bring back the completed survey will be entered in a weekly drawing for the opportunity to win a gift certificate. See Monica if you have any questions.
