Survey about School:Home Communication

As part of our 2011 goal to improve communication with our parents/whānau we are conducting a survey looking at the ways in which we can best communicate to you. The survey is very brief and quite straightforward.
There are several ways to complete the survey – you can go to
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MR8KCDNor you can complete it in paper form. Families that have not completed the survey online will be automatically sent a paper survey next Wednesday 30th Nov. (or you can get one from the office from tomorrow).
The link to the online survey can also be found on the school website. We are also setting up a computer in the foyer of the office to allow people to complete the survey at school if they wish.

We are determined to get 100% feedback from whānau so expect a friendly phone call if you haven’t filled the survey in online or returned a completed paper survey by the 7th Dec.

Thank you very much in anticipation of your help – Any questions please see Liz or Chris.

Once you have "published" your work you will be given a special number. Save that number into the comments section below. I have added my sample story for you as an example. Use this link and enter my number (118787) in the box on the right hand side of the page.
