Seeking Parent Input for our Mission/Vision Statement Development

Eagle View Elementary is drafting a new Mission and Vision statement. Our new mission and vision statements will help set the course for Eagle View students.  Part of the Mission/Vision statement development is to get input from our families.  Your input is valuable, and we would love to have your core values reflected in our new Mission and Vision statements. 

Please complete this Google form by Wednesday, May 31, 2023. Check your child's folder for a paper version. If your correspondence language is Spanish, Korean, or Arabic, a translated copy of the Google form is placed with the paper version. 

We look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to share the newly developed Mission and Vision with you in the coming weeks!
