Parent Survey

April 30, 2018

We have posted our school climate survey link on our district website, mobile app and Facebook.  This is your opportunity to contribute to your child’s education by giving us your opinion.  The results from the surveys will help us in planning for the 2018-2019 school year.   It should take less than 10 minutes to complete the survey.  Parent surveys need to be completed by May 11, 2018.   We appreciate your time in helping improve the educational experience of your student in Holmes District Schools.
