• Translated versions are available in five languages:– Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian

• As you complete the paper survey, make sure that you follow the directions as closely as possible. – For example, under each goal, each action should be given a different

priority number – you cannot rank all items with the same number.

• Surveys are anonymous, but if you would like to be added to the Strategic Plan mailing list, you may include your email.

Strategic Plan Survey

• Feedback from the online surveys will submit automatically.

• Paper copies must be manually input by staff at the district office. Please return them to the school office, and we will send to the Serna Center Parent Resource Center.

• Please advocate! Encourage others to participate in the survey, to learn more and to give feedback, attend community and Board of Education meetings, and participate in school-site meetings, as appropriate. If you know of high school students, please encourage them to take the survey, too.
