WILLAGAZETTE

Dear WillaG Families,

Family engagement is a critical component to student success. We are always looking at ways we can partner with our families to improve and create meaningful relationships. Please take time to complete this Parent and Family Engagement Survey survey to give us feedback about areas we are doing well and areas we can improve. Thank you for your support.

Here are the links for the 2023/24 Parent and Family Engagement & Partnership Survey.
