Please be sure to check the previous week's newsletter if you have not read it yet! You can read the newsletter HERE.

 

1)  

SAC wants to know what you think!

*Thank you so much to those parents that have already taken the SAC Parent Survey.  We would love to get many more responses.  We have decided to extend the survey and leave it open through Friday, January 17th.  This is extremely important to PRA.  We value your feedback.

It is time to let us know how you feel things are going at PRA by participating in our Annual Parent Survey!

When can I do it?    Thursday, December 12th- Thursday, January 9th

How long will it take?  SAC worked to reduce the number of items on the surveys; we expect it to take 10 minutes.  We ask that families complete one Academic Survey for each child attending PRA -- obviously, it will take longer to complete three Academic Surveys than one.

Can I pause in the process and return later?  Unfortunately, no.  You need to dedicate about 10 minutes of uninterrupted time and just go for it.  There will be a link to the Academic Surveys when you reach the end of the Operations Survey.  If you happen to exit after the Operations Survey, please contact Tim McCarthy (tmccarthy@prak8.org) to get access to the Academic Surveys.

What if I just complete the Operations Survey?  Well, SAC certainly appreciates any feedback they get; however, your child(ren) may be disappointed that you didn’t complete the Academic Surveys.  Grade levels with at least 80% participation will earn a DRESS of CHOICE Day, and SAC is sponsoring a special Hat Day for K-5 and a Hat & Hoodie Day for 6-8 if at least 80% of our families complete an Operations Survey.  Who wants to be the parent who keeps his/her child’s class from earning a class prize?  It’s a WIN-WIN to participate!

SAC appreciates your time and values your input!
