community. This questionnaire seeks to identify issues and celebrate achievements of our
school. A copy of the questionnaire can be found at the end of this document.
The questionnaire for parents/staff that will be created through Google Forms and is open
ended to try to capture parent/staff opinions. Jeremey will present the approved draft to the
CG Meeting for their approval and posting.

We will use the school’s communication system to text and email to reach out to our Dragon
family. Additionally, the questionnaire will be posted on our website. Jeremy will create a QR
