***Student Survey Form - Due Friday, May 20***
Dear GBW Families,
Though the beginning of the next school year may seem far away, we are already beginning our planning for classroom assignments. To assist in this process, each year we like to provide families the opportunity to share some information about your child by completing the Student Survey Form. Please note that we do not accept requests for a particular teacher. Your feedback will be shared with the entire committee (admin, supporting teachers, counselors, & specialists) when we collaboratively make our class placements.
When our committee makes our class placements, we will use a complex set of data including academic needs, social / emotional / behavioral needs, teacher feedback, and will also include parent feedback from this form. Our promise to the community is that we will read and consider this feedback when making class placements so that we ensure all students are successful next year.
Please complete this form no later Friday, May 20, 2022. Any feedback received after this date will not be used in our class placement meetings.
Student Survey Form (Due Friday, May 20): https://forms.gle/PzLWqBvtcmRAdbLs7
Thank you again for helping to partner with GBW so that we can make 2022-2023 an amazing school year!
Sincerely,
Andrew & Jordan
Please Donate! Baby Items Needed
All donations will be delivered to the Western Fairfax Christian Ministries, a local outreach center that manages a food pantry for the local Fairfax community. Donations must be non-perishable food and no glass. Our goal is to reach 1000 items!
